Fiziksel açıklama
The dish has a band of distorted wave and spray pattern. A three part lotus scroll with spiky leaves runs lightly round the well. A long-maned dragon with four legs curls over itself on a ground of flames with cash motifs. The outside repeats the well decoration with leafy S-stems and central florets.
