BEHOLD these beautiful dragon-themed plates from 15th-century Spain! These most likely come from the town of Manises, which was renowned for its lusterware.

These images come from the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection on JSTOR, which includes nearly half a million open access images for everyone.
