Wall plate - Copper, Bronze - Zodiac Plate

Back in the 1970s, these copper plates were pretty popular in homes that loved earthy, mystical, or eclectic décor. They were usually made by skilled artisans, sometimes as part of small batches or limited runs, so each one is a little different. They’re typically hefty, made from solid copper, and were often sold in small boutiques or markets that catered to the growing interest in astrology and personal expression. Today, these zodiac plates are collectible because of their unique design and the quality of the craftsmanship—each zodiac symbol is clearly defined, and the sun’s face is detailed and eye-catching. Apart from just hanging them on a wall, people sometimes use these plates as catchalls for keys or jewelry or even as centerpieces for spiritual altars. Pieces like this reflect the free-spirited, cosmic vibe of the 1970s and are getting rarer to find in such well-kept condition.
