This small, 15th to 16th century silver plaquette, by the Master IO. F.F., depicts an allegorical scene, likely a mythological subject. The scene shows a nude man standing in front of a pedestal, possibly a depiction of a god. Another nude male figure, seemingly bound, sits with his head thrown back. The composition is dynamic and full of movement. The plaquette is a fine example of 15th century metalwork, created during a period of great artistic innovation and rediscovery of classical antiquity.
