Domed lidded box made of brass, cambered; moulded floral motifs all around the top of the lid; centred on an openwork curvature in the shape of a grid; below a slightly raised heart in low relief; no stamping; no provenance marks
Provenance
Found walled in behind a wall by construction workers around 1999 during demolition or gutting work in the west of Leipzig (probably Plagwitz). The lidded box was associated with a brass seniyeh or seder plate (used as a table top). Owned by Ronny Licht since the end of the 2000s.
