  • Novara, Provinz Novara, Region Piemonte, Italien

Das Bildfeld der Platte zeigt einen Mann mit Kopfbedeckung und erhobenen Händen in Frontalansicht. Er trägt ein knielanges Gewand mit Zierborten, einen einfachen Gürtel und einen Mantel, der über der Brust mit einer großen Scheibenfibel zusammen gehalten wird. Zu beiden Seiten des Mannes kauern zwei Löwen. Die Szene wird als Darstellung von Daniel in der Löwengrube gedeutet.

Das Motif erfreute sich auch unter der langobardischen Herrschaft in Italien großer Beliebtheit.
