Salver

Type of salver which fits in the current typology developed in Portugal from the end of the 17th century on, which is characterized by a profusion of vegetal and zoomorphic elements. The motifs are distributed in concentric circles starting at the central medallion, a scheme which was previously used in plates of the fifteen hundreds. The medallion, surrounded by two rings of waves and a cord of laurel, presents a curious scene made up of two monkeys, an oriental knight and his page.
