This 18th-century, anonymous "Placeman plate" from the Minneapolis Institute of Art features a central image of a woman representing "Libertas Populi" ("Liberty of the People") standing over a defeated lion, symbolizing the triumph of liberty over tyranny. The plate's blue and white design, with a pink border featuring stylized floral motifs, exemplifies the decorative style popular in 18th-century European ceramics.
