Concretion from ornate plate fragment. Traces of gold flake in concretion. This piece would have been the back side of this plate. Therefore the scroll work is more faint than the other side. One half of the two larger pieces separated from one another (1986.008.1663a). 1 of 5 pieces. See also 1986.008.1663a, c--e. Decorated.
