It is marked Musterschutz (which means Copyright) J M 5883 on the back. From the research I have done I find that these Terra Cotta wall plaques were made between 1829 and 1885. This is a large plaque measuring 15 inches in diameter. It shows a scene of a woman and a child playing in front of a thatched teepee and a man playing a fiddle. It has very high relief and shows no chips or cracks. There is some very very miner wear on the paint. I picked this up an an estate auction of a couple that had an extensive high quality 40 year collection of antiques.    I do my best to describe the items and any defects that it might have. I purchase items mostly from estate auctions. I list only quality items with little or no damage, unless the item is rare or unique and collectible and then any damage will be described and pictured. All items are sold as is.

So if you have any concerns please purchase it. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE OR LOSS IN SHIPMENT.  International Priority comes with $50 insurance included in the price. I have found that USPS Priority Mail is the safest and fastest form of shipping.  Combine Shipping Rate: YES! I COMBINE SHIPPING!!!
