The object in the image appears to be a vintage metal commemorative item, likely a tray or dish, featuring the inscription "TANCRED COMMANDERY," a "48" (possibly a number or emblem), and "LOUISVILLE 1901." Commanderies are local units of the Knights Templar, a concordant body of Freemasonry. Tancred Commandery No. 48 is based in Louisville, Kentucky. Items like this were often produced for specific conclaves or events held by Masonic organizations at the turn of the 20th century. The piece appears to have a polished finish, typical of plated metals used for commemorative serving or display items from that era.
