Plate: The Sacrifice of Isaac

Oval ceramic plate with a brown and green glazed rim featuring pointed projections. The plate's central scene depicts a biblical story: a bearded man, wearing a blue and gold cloth wrapped around his waist, holds a young boy over an altar. The boy has curly hair and is nude. A kneeling youth with curly hair and a cloth around his waist looks on. A small fire burns on the altar. A white dog observes from the right. The background features trees, a building, and a tree with curled branches. The scene is rendered in earthy tones with gold accents.
