"Brass Offering Dish"
Very beautiful model of an offering dish or quest dish known as "Nuremberg" in embossed and epically engraved brass from the 17th century. Large size with a very pronounced relief navel in the center, surrounded by a frieze of Germanic Gothic inscriptions. Wing decorated with friezes of flowers and leaves. Border rolled on an iron rod, some visible wear (indicated by an arrow in the detail photos). A small hole on the wing for hanging. I'll let you discover a very interesting article that I found on the Internet, here is the link: www.fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plat_à_offrandes Note: magnificent shine of the metal giving the illusion of gold. Delivery: €15 for mainland France
