DEEPENINGS
Morphology of the object:
The piece has oblong truncated cone shape, with its bottom part slightly curved and round, ending in a trapezoidal spur. At the top part, on the longitudinal axe, the piece ends in a pointed part and two arched elements, symmetrically disposed in relation to it. There are parallel ribs on the entire surface, oblique, placed symmetrically in relation to the three longitudinal ribs. In an aedicula, placed in the centre of the bottom part of the plate, there are three feminine characters, their body until the knees, seated, in half-profile, oriented towards left. The three deities, probably the Nymphae, wear a long chiton and their hair in a bow. A detailed description is difficult enough because of the conservation state of the plate. There is no inscription on the plate.
