The judge told the three sons to fetch their father\u2019s body, tie it to a tree, and to shoot arrows at him; the son who pierced the heart most accurately should be the heir. The eldest sons each shot at the body, while the youngest refused. In turn, the judge named him the true heir."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Tin-glazed earthenware (maiolica)"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"1"},"media":{"label":"Media","value":[{"mediaRenditionNumber":"G83.1.322 reverse","publicAccess":"true","mediaImageURL":"https://emuseum.gardinermuseum.com/internal/media/dispatcher/10956/full","rank":"0","pixelHeight":"3692","mediaCaption":"Photographer: Toni Hafkenscheid","pixelWidth":"4217","mediaID":"10956"},{"mediaRenditionNumber":"G83.1.322","publicAccess":"true","mediaImageURL":"https://emuseum.gardinermuseum.com/internal/media/dispatcher/10958/full","rank":"0","pixelHeight":"3723","mediaCaption":"Photographer: Toni Hafkenscheid","pixelWidth":"3796","mediaID":"10958"},{"mediaRenditionNumber":"G83.1.322 detail","publicAccess":"true","mediaImageURL":"https://emuseum.gardinermuseum.com/internal/media/dispatcher/10957/full","rank":"0","pixelHeight":"5616","mediaCaption":"Photographer: Toni Hafkenscheid","pixelWidth":"3744","mediaID":"10957"}]},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Dish with the story of \"Shooting at Father's Corpse\""},"classification":{"label":"Classifications","value":"European Ceramics"},"rels":{"label":"Relations","value":"[]"},"subclassification2":{"label":"Sub-classification 2","value":""},"primaryMedia":{"value":"https://emuseum.gardinermuseum.com/internal/media/dispatcher/10958/full"},"subclassification3":{"label":"Sub-classification 3","value":""},"collections":{"label":"Collections","value":["Italian Renaissance Maiolica","Italian Maiolica","14th to 18th Century European Earthenware and Stoneware"]},"geography":{"label":"Geography","value":"Origin: Cafaggiolo, Tuscany, Italy"},"culture":{"label":"Culture","value":"Italian"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"ca.1535-1550"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"185272"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"Overall: 6.6 x 28.7 cm (2 5/8 x 11 5/16 in.)"}}]}
