EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures an exquisite piece of medieval art, the Aquamanile, a basin used for washing the hands of priests during mass. Crafted from gold bronze, this particular aquamanile takes the form of a young man's bust and dates back to 1300-1325 in Hildesheim. The intricate details and craftsmanship showcased in this artwork are truly remarkable. The delicate features of the young man's face are expertly carved, capturing his youthful essence with precision. The golden hue adds a touch of opulence to this religious artifact. Displayed at the National Museum of the Middle Ages in Paris, also known as Thermes de Cluny, this aquamanile stands as a testament to German artistic skill during the 14th century. It serves as both an accessory and a symbol of devotion within religious ceremonies. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era where such objects held great significance. This aquamanile not only represents functional utility but also embodies artistic expression and spiritual reverence. Through its portrayal here by Photo Josse, we have been granted access to appreciate and admire this magnificent work from afar. Its presence reminds us that even centuries later, art continues to captivate our imaginations and connect us with history's rich tapestry.
