Notes
A “bowl-shaped” dish with a metallic luster, colored in two colors: honey and red on an ivory background. Its interior was decorated with a band written in Latin letters erased by time, of which only the phrase remains: “In the beginning was the Word” (Giovanni 101) and a group of successive palm trees that form a band with a metallic luster. At the bottom we find the shape of a medal with an emblem of a dolphin, while on the outside, where the decoration has been removed by time, we can see the remains of a drawing of a plant leaf.
