Small enamelled funeral heart - approx. 12cm

An old small heart-shaped funeral plaque, made of enameled sheet metal. Its nominative inscription is now almost entirely erased, but its beautiful white, gray, and orange patina gives it a particularly graphic and decorative appearance. Its small size allows it to be easily integrated into a wall composition or a cabinet of curiosities. The three perforations were formerly used to fix it to a tomb.
