Knocker. Wrought iron. Century XVI. Door knocker made of wrought iron and made up of several pieces, among which the main one stands out. This has two bands that begin in parallel and then separate and form two facing volutes joined in this area by a rectangular piece, also showing several engraved lines that highlight these elements. The use of scrolls in forging was common since the Romanesque period, and we can speak of an evolution in this element with the passage of time. This example belongs due to its shape to a type of handle or knocker known as “scissor”.

Cylindrical “turner's test” box, 17th-18th century. Cylindrical box decorated with different bands and lid with a carved star. The base presents a series of inscriptions that allude to the purpose for which it was created: these types of pieces were tests of mastery of turner apprentices, which they had to take to pass certain exams within the guild to which they belonged. Not many of these works are preserved because they are more practical than decorative and not commissioned by a client, but their interest is undeniable for this very reason.

Acetre. Bronze. Century XVI. Bronze piece that has a circular foot, and a circular body, with a mouth that extends outwards at the top, and a decoration in relief in this last area of masks that are reminiscent of certain Renaissance pieces with Medusa (the rings for the handle arise from two of these elements). This acetre, a vessel for holy water also known as a situla, is a piece that, in this religious context, appeared in the West in the Middle Ages. The present example is inspired by Renaissance pieces both in its lines and in its decoration and, therefore, is also reminiscent of works from Ancient Rome (situla of the Landesmuseum in Hannover, etc.).
