A large circular relief wall plaque, attributed to Syroco, manufactured from a moulded composite material designed to simulate the appearance of hand-carved wood. The three-dimensional scene depicts a domestic interior featuring a female figure in European folk costume seated at a spinning wheel. The figure is shown drawing a strand of red yarn from a distaff, set against a rustic plank-effect background. A wicker basket at the base contains two sleeping cats and balls of wool. The scene is bordered by an ornate frame decorated with scrolled foliate motifs and a bead-and-reel edge. The plaque is finished with polychrome paint in tones of cream, brown, and green. Condition: The item is in good vintage condition. There is surface dust and light cobwebbing present, particularly within the recesses of the spinning wheel. The painted finish shows minor age-related wear but remains largely intact. There are no visible chips, cracks, or signs of restoration.
