Item Details
Description
Bas-relief plaque, made of thick cast iron. It commemorates the end of World War I, most likely produced soon after the Treaty of Versailles in 1918, which effectively ended the war. Displays a farm worker embracing a female personification of peace or victory, holding a child. The Latin word for peace, PAX, is written above, with a Church bell and tooting angels. Displays an inscription up top, in what appears to be Dutch - EN BATE DER GEMEENTELYKE WELDADICHEIDS WERKEN. Signed by the sculptor - V.V. on the right side. Dutch/Flemish in origin, most likely Belgian or the countries of Benelux, circa 1918. Measurements: Approx. 9.25" x 6.25" overall.
