Context:
This crossbow and its winder (called a cranequin), made for the Prince Elector of Saxony, August I, is a masterpiece of Renaissance decorative arts. The stock of the crossbow is inlaid with engraved staghorn and ebony representations of trophies, arms, and musical instruments. The winder is also enriched with a variety of engraved designs: flowers, leaves, masks, and trophies. Even the cranking handle is minutely decorated. Not unexpectedly, the winder bears the Elector's coat of arms. August I was well known for his taste in elaborate objects, including rare and costly weapons.
