The plate served to decorate either clothing or the outside of a shield. The medallion in the middle shows a calyx-shaped flower and two leaves, surrounded by a small band of incised dot lines and a frame made up of small balls. Around the medallion six leaves have been hammered out, with the grain alternately incised and stamped in fine dots. A composite leaf motif is arranged on the edge as a frame. Along the edge is also an inscription: Hatfo, probably the name of the owner., Ornament, metal, silver, D cm, Iron Age ca. 750 BC, Turkey
