A circular glass dish, fragmented with large jagged breaks, features a central gold-leaf medallion depicting a hunt. A horseman gallops right, pursuing two deer and a wild boar, with a small dog running below. Enclosing the figures is a border of Latin text and repeating triangles. Rendered in gold leaf with muted red and brown accents, the central imagery is set against aged, translucent glass.
