About the work
Prints intended to inspire gold-, silver-, and metalsmiths were sometimes produced in the shape of the objects they were meant to decorate. These designs offer foliate details and appropriate figural vignettes for knives and dagger sheaths like the ones seen in the Aldegrever prints above this case. The Landsknecht on this particular sheath does not wear a dagger, only his Katzbalger sword.
