This collection of brass metalware consists of a commemorative circular dish and several decorative handbells. The cast brass dish is fashioned after Spanish coinage from the reign of Queen Isabella II, featuring a central relief-cast coat of arms for the House of Bourbon, surmounted by a crown and flanked by laurel and oak branches. The rim is cast with the inscriptions REINA DE LAS ESPAÑAS, 10 CÉNTIMOS DE ESCUDO, and 5 CENTIMOS. Included in the group are cast brass handbells of various designs, including a figural bell in the form of a woman in a crinoline dress, a bell with a relief historical scene, and a bell decorated with foliate motifs. The scene and foliate bells are topped with loop handles.
Dish diameter: 6 inches.
