Hexagonal dish (part of a set) 1650 - 1699

This hexagonal dish, part of a larger set, is a fine example of the intricate silverwork produced by Paulus Roth, a prominent German silversmith, in the late 17th century. The dish is crafted from silver and features an elaborate repoussé design of scrolling foliage and fruit, creating a richly ornamented surface. The hexagonal shape and detailed embellishments reflect the popular decorative styles of the period, showcasing the craftsmanship of the Baroque era. This piece is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
