A good Renaissance Maiolica Istoriata plate, so-called tondino, mid 16th century

painted with a scene from the Old Testament with a camp of five tents, in the centre three seated men in conversation, the backside decorated with concentric bands in yellow on a cream-coloured ground, applied in the centre with a possibly 19th century reproduction of the composition and a cutting from an English catalogue describing the dish; the rim chipped and damaged in one place and restored with the original pieces
