   To a fine quality cast iron fireplace fireback. The unsigned example is of European or English origin. The front is cast with a religious scene of two pilgrims and a monk. Of tombstone top form, the perimeter of the fire back retains the original moulded edge. Note: these firebacks were used to protect the brick of the fireplace and to radiate heat to the front. There is one partial crack, which is usual with this early type of flood mold casting.
