An octagonal decorative plaque worked in browns, ochre and cream. A sunflower medallion at the centre is surrounded by pointed petal rays, cream liyavel scrolls fill the eight corners, and a fine beaded rim follows the angular outline. A study in adapting a circular motif to an eight-sided frame without distorting it.
