Nella parte superiore del bordo c'è un medaglione contenente una palma, attraversato da una pergamena ondulata con la scritta “C / HI. / LA.PVo / VE / R” e, nella parte inferiore, un medaglione simile con la scritta “P / AC / IEN / TI / A”. A sinistra e a destra del bordo ci sono medaglioni contenenti rispettivamente un busto di un giovane e un busto di un imperatore romano. Tra un medaglione e l'altro c'è una pianta di acanto fiancheggiata da draghi e gagliardetti. L'opera, apparsa per la prima volta presso un collezionista parigino nel 1866, dal 1939 è custodita nel “Fitzwilliam Museum”, University of Cambridge (Inghilterra).

> In the fifteenth and fifteenth centuries, hunting was among the most "important" activities for a nobleman, even an elderly; it was essentially the true hobby of the great lords. Our luminous majolica plate (diameter 37.7 cm), made in Deruta (Perugia) by an unknown artist around 1510, is dedicated to a "hunting scene".
In the center there are five dogs that attack a bear and the scene is surrounded by a garland of leaves and berries.
In the upper part of the border there is a medallion containing a palm tree, crossed by a wavy parchment with the inscription "C / HI. / LA.PVo / VE / R ”and, in the lower part, a similar medallion with the inscription“ P / AC / IEN / TI / A ”. On the left and right of the border there are medallions containing respectively a bust of a young man and a bust of a Roman emperor. Between one medallion and another there is an acanthus plant flanked by dragons and pennants. The work, which first appeared with a Parisian collector in 1866, has been kept in the "Fitzwilliam Museum", University of Cambridge (England) since 1939.
