This pewter "Plate (Kaiserteller)" was made by Paulus Öham the younger in the 17th century, a period in which the art of pewter was highly valued. The intricate design features a central medallion depicting a figure on horseback, possibly an emperor, surrounded by a border of eight vignettes, each depicting a different scene, and all framed by delicate floral motifs. The plate is a fine example of the detailed artistry of the period and the craftsmanship of Öham, demonstrating a mastery of relief work.
