Pyxis with Lid (lid)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Pyxis with Lid (lid) by Marie Spartali Stillman shows a small, round, domed object with a turquoise patina and dark brown etchings. The object has a small hole in the center and appears to be made of metal, possibly bronze or copper. The etchings on the surface are abstract and appear to be a combination of lines, shapes, and possibly some figurative elements. The object is positioned on a gray background that fades to black at the top.
