content: Two frame designs, arranged horizontally on the page. The frame at left is rectangular, and features bead course at the sight edge, fluted cove, and lamb's tongue and dart molding in the center, and fluted cove at the back edge. On the left and right side, garlands of flowers hang from outset corners in the frame, about 1/3 of the way from the top. The top of the frame has sculptural carving of a lidded vase atop scrolling acanthus leaves and festoons of roses; the bottom of the frame has a festoon of roses within an inset in the middle. The frame on the right is oval, with ribbon twist ornament at the sight edge, fluted cove in the middle, and lamb's tongue and dart at the back edge. The top of the frame has a carved wreath of roses and branches of leaves. The plate is signed and numbered.
