Fiziksel açıklama
Rimless shallow ceramic dish. A white background dominates. The edge of the dish is painted with a thin border made up of small blue curved edged zig-zags with a blue dot in-between each white space. There are 4 creature like forms painted in the main area of the dish surrounding a central symmetrical shape. The creatures each have segmented bodies which are curved, four legs, a head with two eyes and thread like tentacles with long, wispy, curly tails.
