To try and undermine Psyche's happiness they convince her to uncover her husband's true identity, since surely as foretold by the oracle she was lying with the vile winged serpent, who would devour her and her child., Provenance: From the collection of Lucy and Stanley Lopata, by descent., 8" diameter

The figural enamel decoration to the central portion of the plate and the rim are in very good overall condition. There is a very slight bruise on the raised forearm of the woman in green dress left of center. And do note the two areas of loss at the bottom left area of the white rim at the very edge of the plate easily seen in our images with other 'flea-bite' losses along that white enameled border. Backside looks to be in good condition as well with no real issues to the bottom of the rim as it would rest on a surface only some minor wear with no bruising noticeable there. There are 2 small bruises to the bottom where the side wall of the plate meet the rim, and you can see one of those small bruises in our 11th of 12 images as shown online to the right near the edge of that image, with the other bruise just a bit less than an inch farther to the right.
