Plate

Cleveland Museum of Art

The plate, by an unknown artist, is a circular ceramic piece. The plate's background color is predominantly orange. The interior of the plate features a design consisting of concentric rings around a central figure. The figure depicted is a creature with a humanoid body covered in spots and a feline face. It has a long snout, large teeth, and three whisker-like lines extending from its nose. The creature's arms and legs are adorned with red and black bands. The plate's rim is decorated with a pattern of small black and red shapes on an orange background, bordered by two black lines. The plate is set against a gradient background that transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
