About the work
Stags were the quintessential quarry for German hunters during the Renaissance. Craftspeople would have used this hunting frieze—one of nearly 50 in Virgil Solis’s repertoire of patterns—to decorate items like game boards, powder flasks, parade shields, hunting horns, crossbow winders, and, of course, armor.
