the circular plaque painted with a cobalt ground decorated with gilt flowerheads reserving a scene of a mythical beast amidst turbulent frothing waves, set within a quatrefoil lobed panel. The whole nestled within the lower squared section of a rectangular panel, the upper portion densely carved with scrolls of clouds, the lower reticulated with an interlocking hatchured pattern.
