Unique Lotus Temple Plate

By lil_woji, 14 July, 2013
Description

plate: 6 1/4 in across. case: 8 1/3 in across. 

the plate is cast iron and has the lotus temple engraved in the center of it, along with  some decoration around the edge. I think the lotus temple and the decoration around the edge is engraved with gold. there is a sticker on the back of the plate that I believe is an auction sticker. my guess is the previous owner had found this item in an auction.

the display case opens from center front with two silver clamps. the outside of the case is maroon velvet, and the inside is white silk.
