AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Special 17th-century alms dish, made of brass and richly decorated with relief and inscriptions. This type of dish was traditionally used in churches for collecting alms and holds strong historical and symbolic significance.
The central motif consists of a twisted rosette, surrounded by concentric borders with decorative patterns and a biblical text in relief. The combination of text and ornamentation is characteristic of Northwest European brass dishes from the 17th century. The dish has a powerful appearance and is very suitable as a wall object or collector's piece.
An authentic and decorative historical object that fits beautifully within a collection of religious heritage, old metalwork, or antique interiors.
