Antique metal funerary heart - approx. 19cm

An old heart-shaped metal funerary plaque, with raised inscriptions in memory of Oscar, who died on September 13, 1939, at the age of 62. The phrases "Here lies" and "Regrets" accompany this sober composition, whose silvery-grey patina highlights the letters and contours. The ornament that topped the heart, probably a cross, is now missing; however, the piece retains its silhouette and decorative character.
