Passover Plate
Bernhardt van Zeetslate 17th-early 18th century; decoration: 18th-early 19th century
The Jewish Museum, New York
New York, United States
The engraving on this plate was executed by three different hands, probably at different times. Two sets of initials in Roman script on the rim identify the first owner. A Hebrew inscription in a good scribal hand around the rim was added later and includes Hebrew initials of another owner. The childlike Passover imagery in the center appears to have been added last.
