Tray, 1826-1827
Silver , 10 cm (3 15/16 in.)
General admission for children 17 years and under is always free
This small, round silver tray is very small, less than an inch all around. The periphery has three concentric circles defined by shallow depressions between them. There is a wide but shallow central depression with a small engraved boar’s head in the center and the monogram EAB with the letters intertwined.
