A large Continental rectangular pottery plaque circa 1880

signed F. Leroy, depicting a Medieval lady.

Please note that this plaque has not been examined out of the frame. In good condition except: There are some areas with varying degrees of minor losses to the beaded decoration on the surface. There is a small area with some minor loss to the burgundy enamel right above her jewelled belt and some very minor occasional surface scratches. The burgundy and blue enamels are slightly overfired at places giving it a matte appearance.
