A Large German Repousse Brass Alms Dish, 17th Century
Located in ARMADALE, VIC
A Large German Repousse Brass Alms Dish, 17th Century
These dishes were originally used as everyday flatware by the wealthy during the Medieval period, serving for food or for holding water for hand-washing.

In medieval times, these brass dishes served as everyday flatware for the wealthy, used for food or holding jugs for hand-washing. They also served as displays of wealth and status.
