It is presumed to be from the Contini Bonacossi collection. The lot in question, while typologically recalling the production of coats of arms and heraldic decorations of the lively workshop of the Robbia, presents a more rough and rough Assia execution and a style more archaic and rigid compositional, far from plastic fantasies e by the elegant and refined naturalism of Andrea and Giovanni, which betrays a origin of the work from a peripheral area, little attentive to Florentine innovations and which can identify with a Atelier of another Tuscan or Umbrian city. The lot can be viewed by appointment or at our office in Corso Italia 6, Florence.
