Plate Depicting Jonah

Cleveland Museum of Art

Round plate with a yellow rim. A man with a long white beard and a head covering sits on a grassy cliffside, wearing a yellow cloth wrapped around his waist. The man's right arm is bent at the elbow with his hand raised. He appears to be looking at a large sea creature emerging from the water. The sea creature has a green head with a long snout and sharp teeth, and a yellow and orange tail. Above them, a man with a white beard and a yellow and green robe sits on clouds. In the background, there are buildings and a body of water. The sky is cloudy with a yellow glow.
