Signature: REMBRANDT VAN RIJN 1606–1669 — information about Rembrandt's life, typical for souvenir or collectible items.

Date stamped above the heads: 1634 — indicates the year of the original work on which the relief was based.

(By 1634 Rembrandt was already an established artist and was creating many paintings of biblical, historical and portrait scenes.)

This plate does not date from the 17th century, but is a later reproduction, probably made in the 19th or 20th century, most often by German or Austrian pewter manufacturers.

This is a decorative relief inspired by Rembrandt, popular with collectors of classical art.
