Description: "In six compartments, surrounded by a rude flowing foliated pattern, are represented the performers of a Morris dance in very low relief. Maid Marian with flowing hair, holding a ball; the clown with a fool’s cap with ass’s ears, carrying a bauble with a representation of his own head at its top; three male dancers in fantastic attitudes, and the musician playing a pipe and drum." (Westwood p. 254)
