This plaque is characterised by the engraved outline of two pairs of feet and an inscription on one of the sides, and another pair of engraved feet without an inscription on the other side. It was designed to be embedded in the ground, which explains why the inscription is only on the front. The feet on other side were probably a failed first attempt.
