This covered cylindrical jar with three animal feet is lavishly covered with a cobalt blue glaze in the exterior and an amber glaze in the interior. Of the colored lead glazes of sancai (three-color) ware, blue was preeminent and precious. Imported cobalt from Persia (Iran, Afghanistan) was used as a glaze colorant that yields a rich, brilliant blue of considerable splendor.

Vorderseite
Die in Dreiviertelansicht dargestellte Frau blickt sinnend und mit geschlossenem Mund nach rechts. Ihr langes Haar wird von einem Tuch zusammengehalten, das über ihre linke Schulter hinabfällt und das Äquivalent für die dicke Haarsträhne auf ihrer rechten Seite bildet. Das am Oberkörper weit geschnittene und breite Falten werfende Gewand bauscht an den Oberarmen auf, liegt jedoch an der Taille eng an.

Dressed in a full suit of armor, Maximilian (reigned 1486– 1519) stands among an array of helmets and weaponry. He holds a sword in one hand and a cannonball in the other, indicating both knightly skill and military power. A large sack of coins behind him alludes to his financial support of the engineers and craftsmen dedicated to the industry of war. Similar suits of armor in the Maximilian style are on view in the museum’s arms and armor court, including Maximilian’s personal suit of jousting armor. Traut created this woodcut for a monumental triumphal arch, printed with 195 woodblocks prepared by a team of printmakers. The emperor commissioned the massive print—almost 12 feet tall when assembled— to commemorate his gentility, generosity, and military conquests.
