Subject:Inquiry Antique Asian Engraved Brass Plate
Posted By: kim Fri, Jan 26, 2018 IP: 71.56.132.118

Hi. I have included some pictures of this plate I have recently acquired. Can you lend any information on who may have made it, designed and etched it, year made, etc.? Anything/all information you have is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The figure is in a traditional style I associate with Indonesia, so hopefully someone more familiar with local art there can help date and explain it.

Best regards,

Bill H.

Your plate is Indonesian, depicting a Wayang puppet. Similar pieces are currently sold in gift and craft shops in Indonesia, especially in Surabaya.
