Sunbeam Alms Dish

Important brass alms dish from Nuremberg. This finely patinated dish features a beautifully rendered classical sunbeam motif radiating from the center, complemented by Gothic inscriptions that enhance its religious character. The balanced composition and rich surface tone reflect both the craftsmanship of a major German metalworking center and the devotional function of the piece. 15th century.
Diameter: 44 cm
