DescriptionA large, white plate with a border of floral designs and a pastoral scene in its center. The flowers and leaves are painted in red, yellow, purple, blue, orange, and green. Its outer border is red, yellow and blue while its inner border is dark blue, yellow and orange. A scroll is painted at the bottom of the plate, interrupting the border pattern. "Orče náš, jenž isi na nebesích", which translates to "Our father, who art in heaven", is painted within. The scene is of an old man in Moravian garb, kneeling before a large crucifix in the middle of a pasture. Many sheep are piled behind him with two more at his right. Blue mountains and sky are in the background. There is a wire loop in a narrow hole in the back for hanging.On View
