A small gold flat dish, possibly flower-shaped, attached to the front of the high priest’s turban.
About Plate
The High Priest was commanded to wear a kind of headband on his forehead just below the level of his turban. It was made of two materials. In the front was a thin piece of gold beaten into the form of a narrow band. On this plate were inscribed the words “Consecrated [or, Dedicated/Holy] to the LORD).” Through the ends of this band were threaded blue ribbons or threads. These were tied at the back of the head holding the band against the forehead.
