Bronze plate (H. 0.15 Br. 0.20). Coll. Jankovich, Budapest; I do not know where it is at the moment. Dr. A. Mócsy informs me that it is not in the National Museum.

The representation of Mithras as a bullkiller is made as a "vertieftes Bild". The dog, the serpent and the scorpion; no raven and no torchbearers.
