A close photograph of a hand-held embossed silver plaque, its edges worked with scrolling floral and foliate patterns. The central relief shows two figures on a brick-patterned floor: a seated woman in a long wrap garment and a standing figure in a short dhoti offering something in cupped hands, with a crouching animal and a cylindrical object beside them, and a stippled backdrop. Two hands at the edges hold the plaque, with the plaque filling most of the frame.
