Unfortunately, the signature is not visible, likely because the plaque is surrounded by a contemporary metal frame, presumably brass or bronze, which covers the signature. The bas-relief decoration depicts saint christopher with the baby jesus on his shoulders, the protector of travelers. On the back is the artist's handwritten inscription, "whoever trusts you, travels safely and on a serene road." in our opinion, this plaque is attributable to the turin factory tre a "aaa."
