Objects of urban culture belonging to the late Golden
Horde period (last third of the 14th century and first half of the
15th) are chiefly represented by elements of belt sets and small individual
items of jewellery produced both for a specific client and for general
sale. This section consists of several interconnected groups of artefacts,
which display the influence of the craft traditions of Muslim and
Christian Anatolia, Byzantium, Syria, Iran and Mameluke Egypt on the
one hand, and Latin Christendom on the other. For the most part, the
bulk of the items of urban culture are associated with the local craftsmen
of the Golden Horde territory adjacent to the Black Sea, although
with time the new style also affected the jeweller's art as practised
in the capitals on the Volga. Among the pieces associated with the
Latin tradition there are interesting belt sets in which we can detect
the craft traditions of Venice, Liguria and, possibly, Lombardy. |
