18th Century German Pewter Purim Plate
The outer rim has wriggle-work engraving stating “and of sending portions one to another and gifts to the poor” (Esther 9:22). Interspersed between some of the words are depictions of foliage and flowers. Large decorative star in which the very centre has three interlocking fish.
This dish was used for the custom of sending gifts of food to friends and neighbours during Purim.
In Central Europe, nuts, candied or dried fruit were the usual treats extended.
The astrological symbol of the month of Adar, in which Purim falls out, is fish, which is why it is featured in the centre.
