Antique Hand-Painted Shooting Target Plaque – Germany ca. 1930

A very large antique wooden hand-painted shooting target plaque. The honor target is showing a belling stag in the Black Forest. Handpainted in Germany around 1930.

The target of honor or king’s target is a traditional award in shooting competitions. The tradition is predominantly widespread in southern Germany, Austria and Lower Saxony. Honorary targets are donated and shot in honor of a personality, on the occasion of a birthday, a wedding or a prize shooting competition. They were often artistically designed and hand-painted, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries. With the advent of printing technology, targets were also created using artistic prints.
