Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Similar dishes with decoration of deer were recovered from the San Diego, a Spanish warship that sank on 14 December 1600 (see BM Franks. 1579). An almost identical dish is in the Topkapi Saray Museum, Istanbul. Another similar dish cited by Krahl is in the Ardebil shrine, but this shows two rather than three deer.
