Historical Context
This bronze Art Deco plaquette was issued by the Belgian Ministry of Agriculture, likely during the 1930s, a period when national institutions frequently recognized rural excellence through commemorative awards. The bilingual inscription reflects Belgium’s official French and Dutch languages. The designer, Lecorart, created a number of institutional medals and plaquettes in this era, often depicting agrarian life with stylized elegance. This piece was likely awarded in the context of agricultural fairs, livestock competitions, or services to the farming community.
