Description: | This gilt framed plaque was originally the lid of an enamel box. It is painted in enamel colours with a riverside scene of figures standing by an ancient tower and other buildings. The style of the buildings and the clothes worn by the figures suggest that the design was inspired by a continental European landscape. The box was made in Birmingham between 1755 and 1760.
