A round, plaited, wired plate, with its surface painted in light blue, white and pink enamel, with leaf motifs, which end in blossoming stylised flowers, enriched with mother-of-pearls in each of the cases. The centre shows a dark blue rosette enclosed by a black enamel rim. The rosette is enriched with a half pearl in a bent silver wire setting. With the revival of the Transylvanian enamel technique, this piece is the historicizing version of 16th-17th century Hungarian jewels.
