Embossed, pierced, engraved and silvered copper riser
Resting on the ground by means of a turned base of a truncated-conical shape that narrows upward, it has the “plate” having a doubled and rebated rim, and the body embossed and elegantly historiated in openwork.
The same consists of a central round part bordered by a beaded frame, and centered by a shield that in ancient times most likely bore the family coats of arms.
The shield is surrounded by two successive circular bands: the first lavishly ornamented with figures of animals: four dogs and two wild boars, chasing each other through the vegetation; and the second elegantly decorated with a succession of openwork movements, forming small arches, intersecting one into the other.
Height 12 x 12.6 cm (base diameter) x 34 (plate diameter)
