Who made this?
The artist of this piece is unknown. Most small sculptures such as this are not signed or attributed to any specific artist. These bronzes were common in France at the time, so there were workshops of enamellers and metalworkers spread throughout the country. To make a piece of this fidelity, the artists were clearly highly skilled and specialized in bronze and champlevé enamel, as well as used to making these kinds of pieces relatively quickly and efficiently.
The textile was most likely made in one of the large textile industries in the East (for more details visit Textiles). These workers were also highly specialized in their field and worked with very valuable materials such as silk, so the small piece used to wrap this bone only accentuated that it was something important, to be treasured and protected on its journey.
