trial_description_8:
Mended from two pieces, soldered together, with three strips of bronze at back. One corner ornament missing. Bottom rough, but perhaps original.
Pediment-topped plaque, tapering sharply toward bottom. Three-leaved antefixial ornament at top; single leaf at lower angles of pediment, each with a rosette; the leaves marked with incised herringbone. Incised herringbone border, raised above surface, around sides, except bottom, and across bottom of pediment.
In each angle of the pediment, an incised star; in center, in high relief, a crescent moon; resting upon it, in lower relief, a draped bust, facing.
Plaque below, plain, save for a large pine cone in high relief at the bottom.
Very coarse work.
