Round plate with a gold rim and white background, decorated with a chariot scene in the center. The chariot, pulled by two horses, is driven by a man wearing a yellow tunic and a helmet. He holds a whip in his right hand. The chariot has blue accents and four spokes on each wheel. The scene is set against a backdrop that includes a stone wall on the left, a column in the middle, and a curtain on the right. There are several other figures and objects in the scene, including a man on horseback, a dog, and a few scattered items on the ground. The plate's border features a repeating pattern of gold, blue, and green designs, including leaves, flowers, and animals. There are four oval medallions around the edge of the plate, each containing a different design. The overall style of the plate is ornate and decorative, suggesting that it may be a piece of artisanal craftsmanship. Charger Depicting a Chariot Race by Fontana Family.
