Dish with a Mythological Couple (Perhaps Apollo and Daphne)
The object is a circular, flat disc with a raised edge and a relief carving in the center. The carving depicts two figures, a man and a woman. The man is on the left; he wears a long garment and cloak. The woman is on the right; she wears a long flowing garment. The man reaches out with one arm to touch the woman. The woman has one arm raised. A pattern of interlocking circles borders the relief. Below the relief is a row of triangular shapes. The disc has a rough, weathered appearance with visible signs of aging and wear. The background of the image is gray.
