The plate's centre is finely hand-engraved with delicate floral patterns surrounding a central medallion, itself shaped like a bird. This inner surface is calm and detailed, meant to be admired up close.
Around the edge, the mood changes. The octagonal border is carved with dancing Nat figures in raised relief, one on each angled side, circling the plate in a lively procession.
It is this balance that defines the piece — a quiet, intricate centre held within a border full of movement and life, both crafted entirely by hand.
