Dish (one of a pair), mid-17th century, Hungarian, possibly Transylvania, Silver, partly gilded, Overall: 9 15/16 x 9 15/16 in. (25.2 x 25.2 cm), Metalwork-Silver, Gilded flowers and foliage within boldly-conceived rims frame a high-embossed, gilded fruit arrangement in the center of each hexagonal dish. The fact that the engraved coat of arms, with a laurel wreath and an inscription, are squeezed between two of the large flowers indicates that they may have been added at a later date
