It is a shallow [semi flat] dish [?], which is mother-of pearl. It is mounted on a silver bamboo designed tripod, and attached with a silver butterfly that basically screws onto the tripod. I will attempt to post photo. I know that Willaim fowle was known for approx. three years work under his Uncle...
What would a castle be? When we look under a strong magnifier it looks more like the seated woman? It's all a mystery for us at this point. But who else has the WF mark?? .
