A C L - Pewter figure - AcL (5) - Tin

This tin plate is an ancient Jewish ritual object, probably a Seder plate or a decorative plate with religious significance.
Origin and Function
It is made of tin, which was common in Jewish communities across Europe (especially Germany and Alsace-Lorraine) during the 18th and 19th centuries for ritual objects like Seder and Purim plates, before they were replaced by ceramics or glass.
Function: The plate was probably used for the Passover Seder meal, where symbolic foods are placed, or as a wall decoration with religious inscriptions.
Inscriptions and Symbols
The plate features both Latin and Hebrew inscriptions.
Latin letters (left): The initials 'ACL' are embossed. This could be a manufacturer mark or an owner monogram, similar to other pewter plates from this period.
Hebrew letters (top right): The text in Hebrew square script (read from right to left) is: המוג (pronounced as ha-mog or similar, depending on vocalization).
Meaning: Without further context or a complete phrase, the exact significance is difficult to determine. Such plates often contain Psalm verses (e.g., 'If I forget you, O Jerusalem') or blessing phrases (Brachot). The specific inscription 'המוג' does not immediately correspond to a common liturgical text but could be part of a longer, abbreviated, or less common inscription.
