What you’re looking at is a heavy copper zodiac plate from around 1970, made as a decorative wall hanging and saucer that captures the essence of boho and astrological style from that era. Measuring around 7.5 inches in diameter and about an inch thick, this piece is both striking and sturdy in hand. The design features a gleaming sun face at the center, surrounded by all twelve zodiac signs, carefully embossed around the rim. It’s a real conversation starter, especially for anyone who’s into horoscopes or vintage decor. Having survived more than 50 years, it’s considered a rare find—especially in such near mint condition, which means there’s hardly any sign of wear, dents, or tarnish, just the gentle aging that adds to its charm.
Back in the 1970s, these copper plates were pretty popular in homes that loved earthy, mystical, or eclectic décor. They were usually made by skilled artisans, sometimes as part of small batches or limited runs, so each one is a little different. They’re typically hefty, made from solid copper, and were often sold in small boutiques or markets that catered to the growing interest in astrology and personal expression. Today, these zodiac plates are collectible because of their unique design and the quality of the craftsmanship—each zodiac symbol is clearly defined, and the sun’s face is detailed and eye-catching. Apart from just hanging them on a wall, people sometimes use these plates as catchalls for keys or jewelry or even as centerpieces for spiritual altars. Pieces like this reflect the free-spirited, cosmic vibe of the 1970s and are getting rarer to find in such well-kept condition.
