The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Box by Elias Pelletreau: A silver-colored, cylindrical box with a slightly rounded body and flat lid. The lid features a raised floral design in the center. The box has two thin, raised lines around the top and bottom edges of the body and around the edge of the lid. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The box is positioned slightly off-center to the right, casting a faint shadow.
