Brass plate

The round brass plate has a narrow rim with a decorative convex edge with an ornament of alternating stripes (the wider ones are between two narrower ones). It was originally silver plated. In the centre of the plate, there is a Star of David with the Hebrew letter "shin" within it. It cannot be ruled out that the point-applied decoration was added later, not when the plate was created. On the rim, from inside the plate, there are hallmarks: an illegible vertical oval mark and an inscription "MET. 1".

The item was purchased for the collection of the Lublin Open Air Village Museum in 2007 from a collector from Warsaw who had bought it at an antiques fair in Warsaw in 1985–1999.
