The second rose: petal-like flaps fold around a central crater well, dark brown streaked amber-gold, tan grit on the ridges, the pale plinth beneath. The buff base carries 569 incised and inked black. It pairs with 568 to the eye — two dark roses in a row.
Why call them roses? The folds radiate like petals — a shape note, nothing more; 568 next door makes it a bouquet of two. Piece 569 of 10,000, listed at $5.69.
