The motif of the mounted archer firing backwards is consistent with figural types on Ayyubid-Mamluk enamelled wares of the thirteenth century (as well as conforming to what we know of the actual practices of the Turkish and Mongol cavalry). See, for example, a 13th century enamelled beaker in the Grunen Gewolbe in Dresden and another formerly in the Landesmuseum in Dresden destroyed in World War II , both of which show equestrian archers firing over the haunches of their mounts. Gallé adapted these protypical forms and arrived at something bold, original and vibrant.

Vase, 1904. Cased, wheel-cut and acid-etched glass, with applied 'cabochons' over silver foil. H: 38.5cm. This vase could be one of the last designs made during Gallé's lifetime and under his supervision. It incorporates two of his favourite images - the sun, symbolising day, banishing the bat, which symbolises night. The bat also evoked, in Gallé's words,'... the darkness of a night in the forest...the rustle, the whispering and mysterious activity of things which are unseen, but which watch, and go about their business in secret'. The applied coloured glass decorations that imitate rich jewelling are called cabochons. They were not included on the simpler versions of the design that were produced in the early years after Gallé died in 1904. These versions have the Gallé mark, together with a star. This combined mark was used on pieces made after his death. Vistoria & Albert Museum
