Maker: Unknown (Perhaps)
Earthenware, tin-glazed overall, except for the undersides of the feet. The glaze is thick, but where it lies thinly the fabric shows through it. Painted in yellow and orange.
The shallow, circular saltpan has an everted rim and is supported on the heads of four winged female terminal figures, rising from the corners of a square plinth on four paw feet.
Wide yellow lines between narrow orange lines run round the inner and outer edges of the rim of the salt pan and round the top and bottom of the sides of the plinth.
