Magnificent coat-of-arms painting on tin depicting the souls in purgatory seeking intercession from two saints, Saint Peter and Saint Paul.

A work rich in significant details, such as the skull and crossbones representing the Memento Mori and the Italian inscription in ribbon that reads: PRAY FOR MY SOUL.

These types of plaques were mainly used during religious processions by groups called the Confraternities of the Good Death, dedicated primarily to the burial of the poor and prayers for their souls.
