Undated George Washington Miniature Portrait Plaque. Lead. 11.5 x 21 mm, Rectangular with Diagonally Clipped Corners. Very Fine.Nicely executed portrait by an unknown artist shows Washington in civilian dress, facing to the left, with his hair tied back into a queue. We have not seen this before, and do not know its purpose. Perhaps a die trial perfecting the bust for a larger medal, or maybe this was the entire piece, ready to be set into a bezel for use as a pendant.
