copper plate

By jalden51, 5 September, 2008
Description

The dish is scalloped around the edge and I believe, repoussed, around the dish in a band.  The design includes ram's heads and grape vines and the detail is amazing.  I have not seen anything like it and I have spent a lot of time on the web trying to identify it.  The repoussed band is again scalloped and then the dish curves down into the center circle which is etched with two cats playing.  The back is unfinished.  It is a dirty brown color and the surface has a sandy textured feel.  The back has the reverse of the front repousse work.  I tried to include photographs, but no matter what I adjust in my file size, the picture engine you're using says that my download is too large.  Hope you can help me.  Thanks!
