About this piece

Circular composition plaque, 14 cm wide. Backed in green felt with original hanging cord, weight about 280 g, this is a reproduction of Elizabeth 1st seal, proving her approval on documents etc.

A circular, red-painted relief plaque showing Elizabeth 1st as a crowned figure in a high ruff, set against a dense field of foliate ornament and flanked by heraldic beasts. A band of raised lettering runs around the perimeter, giving it the look of a commemorative seal worked up in low relief. The piece is executed in a composition or resin material and carries a green felt backing and a braided hanging cord, so it is ready to display. The plaque measures about 14 cm across and weighs roughly 280 g, a compact piece with a bold colour and period character. Handsome on a small wall, over a mantel, or in a cabinet of curiosities, it will suit collectors of historical-revival ornament or anyone wanting a touch of theatrical heraldry.
