Lower Portion of a Female Figure
The plaque shows only the legs and lower torso of a dancing nude figure amid clouds. It was part of a long running border of similar figures, of which many examples have been found.
There is a slight break at the lower right edge, and the bottom edge is broken. Such pieces must have been glued to a wooden core, as there are no signs of attachment.
