An unidentified English antique brass monumental brass plaque / tomb Plaque.

Thought to be of medieval origin.

A monumental brass is a type of engraved sepulchral memorial once found through Western Europe, which in the 13th century began to partially take the place of three-dimensional monuments and effigies carved in stone or wood. Made of hard latten or sheet brass, let into the pavement, and thus forming no obstruction in the space required for the services of the church, they speedily came into general use, and continued to be a favourite style of sepulchral memorial for three centuries.

This example portrays a male figure, his hands clasped in prayer.

Provenance - Unknown.

Condition - As per the images. Surface wear commensurate with age. A further detailed condition report is available upon request.

Size - 19 cm x 14 cm (7 1/2" x 5 1/2")
