About this work

In the flat of the dish, where the central boss is visible in the middle, stamped with die-stamps: a round high center, surrounded four times by a repetition of motifs of a round, pointed leaf form, as well as a bear sitting on a trunk, surrounded by two tulips. Along the rim, two parallel rings are grooved, still partially visible. The four trunks have a hole drilled at equal distances, likely later. The central boss has also become a small opening. In the rim, round holes are drilled in four places, which are closed on the back with red copper. The hanging ring was added at a later time.
