Footnotes: Note: George Prior, 1735-1814, was well known for exporting clocks to the Turkish market in the late 18th century. After the establishment of trade with the Ottoman Empire, British diplomats in the late 17th century began presenting clocks as gifts to Ottoman officials, leading to a break in the dominance of the French and Swiss in the market for timepieces. This eventually resulted in a high demand for British clocks and lucrative export businesses such as that of George Prior. Such was his success in this area that the word coined by the Turkish to describe a British-made timepiece, 'Pyrol', is a derivative of his surname. He is listed as being active in 1765-1812 at 31 Prescot Street, Goodman's Fields, London, when he was succeeded by his son Edward - Looms, Brian, Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World, Complete 21st Century Edition, N.A.G.

They originated in the 1440s with the desire to reproduce coins and hardstone engravings from ancient Greece and Rome. Some were made as collector’s pieces, to be viewed and displayed in private, and others for practical purposes. They were valued as fine miniature works of art and had a role disseminating imagery and designs throughout Europe.In this plaquette it is unusual to see the figure of Judas holding the thirty pieces of silver in a bag.An almost identical un-gilded example is in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, A.455-1910.

Originally, the earlier figure carrying a birdcage was carved as a commission for Jean Paris de Montmartel but later a second figure of a young girl with bird and an apple was carved as a pendant. She is depicted offering an apple to the boy in exchange for the bird he once owned. The present figures are a revision of these earlier models; they vary in size and in posture; the young girl instead feeds the bird with food while the young boy begrudgingly looks over to her.
