Lot Essay

Cf. Hackenbroch, op.cit., colour pl.XXXXV, nos.605 (a)(b) and 607. Note also the engraving reproduced in no.603 showing an asiatic ruler riding a camel and the woodcut in no.604 showing a drummer on a camel, which the author suggests would seem likely early sources of inspiration for the pendant. For a Sixteenth Century pendant designed as a moor riding a camel see K. Aschengreen-Piacenti, The Jewels of the Electress Palatine, Apollo, September, 1974, vol.100, p.232
