The small platter from the Lublin collection presents the apotheosis of Jan III Sobieski. A full-plastic bordering surrounds the sketch-like scene. The king is portrayed on a mount with a lance, a banner and a Turkish turban under his hooves. In the background, the vaguely outlined tower of Vienna Cathedral reminds us of Sobieski's most significant victory.
