The shape of the lower plate in plan is the same as the upper plate, however the lower plate is undecorated. The centre of the cell is a sub-circular cell. The detail of the flower is defined by grooves which has been incised. There are traces of a black lacquer in the grooves. The leaves and stem of the flower lead to the terminal of the strap end.
