Dish

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Large blue and white ceramic dish. The dish has a wide lip with a scalloped edge. The rim is decorated with a repeating pattern of rectangular sections with white and blue geometric designs and blue foliate motifs. The center of the dish features a blue design on a white background, depicting a person wearing a long robe and a headdress, holding a large object in one hand and a smaller object in the other. The person stands on a brick wall with blue foliage on either side. The background of the image is gray, with a shadow cast by the dish.
