2024 Sterling Silver Star Ornament
Art ornaments inspired by The Met collection.
Each year, The Met presents a new star ornament inspired by a treasure in the Museum's holdings. This luxe ornament for 2024 honors a spectacular German shield in The Met's Arms and Armor collection. Belonging to a small 16th-century garniture (a suit with modifiable elements) forged for the Elizabethan courtier Sir John Smythe (1534–1607), the original shield is stamped with a mark consisting of the letter "A" within a pearled circle on the interior. The exterior is wonderfully etched and gilded, with cartouches featuring allegorical figures of Fortune, Justice, and Fortitude.
