Description: | Incomplete copper alloy plaque or mount, probably 17th or 18th century. This object would have been oval in plan when complete. The surviving portion measures 37mm long and 45mm wide. It is too deliacte and fragmentary to weigh. It is decorated with a religious design that depicts the Virgin Mary in a boat, facing left. Opposite is an incomplete figure facing right, possibly an angel. Between them is a plant, possibly a lily, and above is the head of a figure in clouds or with wings outspread. The plaque appears to have been pressed out of a sheet of metal as the figures and inscription are concave to the rear of the object. The style and lettering suggests the 17th or 18th century date. It is possibly a continental Catholic souvenir.
