Description
Bibliography

Miniature plate decorated in the black-figure technique. It was found in 1957 at the Sanctuary of the Nymphe in fragments, was pieced together and restored.

The floor of the plate depicts an incense burner (thymiaterion) standing on a slanting line that denotes the ground. Rosettes are blooming left and right of the thymiaterion, as well as below the ground line. Similar rosettes embellish the rim where two suspension holes have been opened.
