It has been designed by Bjorn Wiinnblad and tells one of the adventures of Sinbad, the sailor from Basrah who was during the Abbasid Caliphate the hero of a story-cycle of Middle Eastern origin.

During his voyages throughout the seas east of Africa and south of Asia, he has fantastic adventures going to magical places, meeting monsters, and encountering supernatural phenomena.

This plate shows a part of the fourth voyage. Too late Sinbad learns of a peculiar custom of the land: on the death of one marriage partner, the other is buried alive with his or her spouse, both in their finest clothes and most costly jewels. Sinbad's wife falls ill and dies soon after, leaving Sinbad trapped in an underground cavern, a communal tomb, with a jug of water and seven pieces of bread. Just as these meagre supplies are almost exhausted, another couple —the husband dead, the wife alive— are dropped into the cavern. Sinbad bludgeons the wife to death and takes her rations.

Marked at the backside with The Rosenthal Factory logo and details about the story.
