The dish was found in 1893 in the village Kerchev of the Cherdyn district in the Perm province. Gilted silver, diameter 28 cm.
On inside of the dish is a classical image of a king on a horse, axing with a straight sword an attacking boar. On the head of the king is a crown in a form of the horns of a ram. Above the horns is a disk (sun). The face of the king is bearded, the moustache is twisted upward, and on the right visible ear is an earring.
On the reverse of the dish is a tamga reminiscent of Khoresmian, but distinguished from it in details. Next with a magnificent handwriting and competently is engraved the Turanian inscription.
The distinct graphics and rendering of the words, let alone the presence in the inscription of the name of King Dikkiz (aka Diggizikh), the second son of Attila, ruler of the "Scythia and Germany" state, the inscription belongs to the language of western Huns.
