List the various images found on your artifacts and determine their meaning

 

The eagle on the tray most likely a political symbol of Colonial Mexico.  It does not look like the images of the eagle seen on the Mexican flag today because various eagles have been used throughout Mexico's History.

 

 

Create a hypothesis about where this object may have been found and who it may have been belonged to

 

 The Limosnero would have been found in a church and would have been used to collect money and offerings.

 

The tray would have probably belonged to a dignitary, or someone with political power. 

 

What, if anything, was similiar amongst all the artifacts examined

 

 Many of the pieces we examined had similar initials and scratchings, so they may have been made by the same person.
