A circular plate with a flat base, steep well and sloping rim. The underside does not have a foot-ring. Painted in blue, green, yellow, orange, black and manganese purple. Queen Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra, taken captive by the Emperor Aurelian. She is near the front of a procession of male and female captives, led by men holding captured trophies. The Emperor Aurelian flows in the rear, carried on a litter. In the background are castles, a lake and a piece of a building with a terminal figure set in front of it. In the extreme foreground are architectural fragments: a relief with a poet's head and two feet from a broken statue. The reverse of the dish is painted in a pinkish-white glaze and a yellow line. Inscribed in blue script on the foot: \"ZANOBIA SUBIETA AURELIANO IMPERAETOR/ IN SIEN[M]E COM LI FIGLI.
