A Large German Repousse Brass Alms Dish, 17th Century

A Large German Repousse Brass Alms Dish, 17th Century
These dishes were originally used as everyday flatware by the wealthy during the Medieval period, serving for food or for holding water for hand-washing.

Purpose:
While historically used for collecting donations for the poor and charitable purposes, they were also commonly used as offertory plates in churches for collecting offerings during services.
