Antique Bronze Plate (Probably for Purim Mishloach Manot) From Around The 15-16th Century
The embossment on its outer circle seems to be very old, depicting what looks like Mordechai Purim parade from book of Esther.
If we take a closer look at the embossment around the plate clockwise - (one o`clock) a figure dancing with a goat, that's Haman and the devil. Right behind him (at 2 o`clock) a man riding a horse, that's Mordechai. (at 3 o`clock) A woman standing in front of a man sitting on a chair, they are Esther and Ahasuerus. After them (5 to 12 o`clock) dancing figures, these are the Susa people celebrating.
The "AYASOFIA" engraving and the engraving of the mosque in the middle looks like a later added work. It is more of a surface only engraving whilst the circle around it is deeper and much older.
It is not polished or cleaned.
The plate is 14cm\5.5" in diameter and weighs 295 grams.
