Légende

Ancient Silver Alms-Dish, 1850. 'Among the communion plate of Bermondsey Church [in London] is an ancient Silver Salver, now used for the collection of alms. It is supposed to have belonged to the Abbey of Bermondsey. In the centre is an engraving of a knight in plate armour, kneeling before a female, who is about to place a helmet on his head at the gate of a castle or fortified tower. From the fashion of the armour and form of the helmet, this curious specimen of art in the olden time has been assigned to the age of Edward the Second.' From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
