Description

A corroded metal plate with a flared, rounded lower body and a narrower upper section pierced by two small holes. A pale oval boss with a dark central hole sits in the middle of the plate, and the surface is pitted and crusted with light patches. It stands upright against a rough stone block and a draped pale backdrop, with a number label at the bottom edge.
