Large Pavise 1/6 scale, hand illuminated
Hand-illuminated pavise on very fine vellum (calfskin) on solid pearwood. Pictures are non-contractual, the customer indicates decoration he wants and AAM proposes a personal interpretation adapted to the pavise shape.
It is a true "medieval illumination", a work of art made from natural pigments bound with glue on a support of complex shape a pavise!
The pattern of your pavise will be different to your taste (each model is unique) as well as the shape of the fittings (no scallops). Natural pigments crushed and bound with fish glue, 24 carat gold leaf gilding.
The pavise structure is made of solid wood panels glued and assembled by tongue and tenon. The pavise is girdled with nailed copper strips. The back is covered with fine leather (kid or equivalent) in a choice of different colours. The brass and leather buckles and belts are adjustable. The mobile fixing foot also serves as a spear.
