In the middle of the decoration is an inaccurate image of a young bull executed in bright colors, and behind it are four similar tree trunks and branches and stylized roses. It is likely that this type of decoration underwent developments until it took the form of climbing plants found in pieces similar in quality and artistic level. Each of the four sections distributed on the plate is decorated with plants and leaves in the form of diagonal lines resembling bird feathers, which were repeated in products of the late (twelfth / eighteenth) century.
