Silver with an intricate raised design to the surface, a mythical horned creature, its wings and body covered in scales, the center with a rider in flowing ankle length robes turned to the back while playing a flutelike instrument, the music listened to by a bird also to the back, a leaping lion behind, two small fish in a pond to the bottom, a border of hearts surrounding the central panel. A remarkable example of Silversmithing.
