This vintage brass plate showcases exceptional hand-engraved craftsmanship, featuring a central motif of five figures surrounded by an elaborate border of narrative scenes. The border intricately depicts various activities, such as individuals bargaining, figures on horseback, and others presenting offerings. Together, these elements tell a symbolic story, potentially commemorating the union of two kingdoms or peoples. The engravings appear to follow a sequential order, adding a sense of historical storytelling to this remarkable piece.
