Silver Dish

Cleveland Museum of Art

Silver Dish by Isabel Piczek. Large, round, shallow dish made of silver with a raised design in the center. The dish has a wide mouth and slightly raised rim. The surface of the dish is weathered, with visible scratches and dark spots. The raised design in the center depicts a stylized animal with curved horns, possibly a bull or a similar creature, in a dynamic pose with its head facing left and its body angled to the right. The animal has a distinctive hump on its back and its front and back legs are visible. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the edges to lighter gray in the center.
