Condition	The 16th century was Spain's Golden Age, largely due to two long reigns (Charles V (1516-66) and Philip II (1566-98) providing a solid structure for both patronage and artistic development to flourish. Exhuberant ornament derived from Renaissance motifs embellished architecture and objects. This piece is typical of the period with its classic Renaissance design in the form of double arcading in three panels across the front, the panels separated by two vertical sections. The quality of design of form and ornament, and workmanship, are outstanding. The quality of the piece has undoubtedly served to protect it over the years, since it has survived in excellent condition. The colour and patina have matured to an excellent quality over time. .
