Round plate, decorated with floral garlands, grape clusters, and a blank cartouche. In the center, five circular indentations designed to hold five small dishes, each engraved with one of the traditional Seder items: “Zeroah”, “Beitzah”, “Maror”, “Charoset”, “Karpas”. The rim of the plate and the rims of the dishes are decorated with a scalloped repoussé pattern.
