Commentary

Dimensions : 52*44 mm (pour la petite largeur) 60,5 mm (pour la grande largeur)
Il semble s’agir d’un travail préparatoire, le sujet terminé est connu sous la forme d’un boîtier. La plaquette est en réalité composée de deux fines plaques reliées aux quatre extrémités par un fil de coton blanc.
