The engraved protrait on this asymmetrical plaque appears to depict a prince. The bearded man's head can be seen in profile, his rather "plump" body in frontal view. The facial expression appears sombre. The person is sitting on a mat or a low throne with his legs crossed. The plaque has three perforations.
