4th century B.C.
Gilded silver
H. 1.8 cm, Dia. 17.5 cm
A small, twelve-petaled rosette pattern formed in gilding with rounded tip petals decorates the center of the base of the bowl, while the entire inner surface of the bowl is decorated with a larger rosette pattern. The larger rosette pattern has a base set of 12 petals which are then layered with 8 layers of petals. The gilding is used to clarify the layering process. This bowl would have originally had a bowl edge like that found on cat. No. 98, but this rim is no longer extant.
