Extremely heavy for it's size, this engraved copper plate is 9.5 inches in diameter but weighs one and a half pounds. The plate has a knights armour with a crown and a shield below. The plate is uniquely made in that two layers of heavy copper are riveted together and crimped together at the rim edged with a hand worked continuous flow of lines. The back had been tinned and has a hanger for display. The back of the plate and the design truly show the age of this magnificent piece of antiquity. Though we searched over and over for a maker's mark as expected, none was found. The plate stands on it's own as a true piece of primitive craftmanship, designed only for someone of wealth or fame.
Size: 9.5" H x 9.5" W x .5" D
Weight: 1.5 lbs
