Description: | About one-quarter of the side is gone; the rest of the plate mended from many pieces. A man in armour is represented fighting a human-headed serpent, the coils of whose body edge the rim in a series of loops. The greater part of the man's body and his right leg have disappeared, also the end of his right arm and the tail of the snake. The drawing is very spirited, although not careful. Pinkish-buff clay with bits; unglazed on the outside, yellow glaze with brown sgraffito on the interior. | |
