Of circular shape with a lobed rim, the repoussé decoration divided in two concentric roundels divided by lush rosette bands, the central medallion with a large lyre with a festoon of rosettes flanked by two flags, reminiscent of Western coat of arms, the second roundel with a sinuous star-shaped band filled with sprays of rosettes and vegetal branches, stamped twice with tughra marks of possibly Abdul Mejid I (r. 1839 - 1861), 31cm diam.
