Object type: PLAQUE
Broad period: MODERN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy double-sided sheet copper alloy plaque, both sides depicting a two-storey building dated 1727, the details incuse. The image is closely comparable with the Old Town Hall in Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA, which is dated 1727. The plaque is pierced for suspension, presumably from a wire and is probably intended as a decoration. Dating is unclear but the plaque probably lies in the date range 1850-1950.
