Greetings!

I'm looking for images of a particular type of wooden
trencher used in the 16th century: the primary characteristic
of the type is that it has poetry or Biblical quotations and
painted decorations on the bottom; the top should be of plain
wood.  It was used for serving fruit, and is sometimes
referred to as a "roundel."

If you could refer me to specific books or even a museum
website with pictures of this sort of trencher, I'd be very grateful.

With thanks,
Elianora Mathewes
