Jardiniere

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Square ceramic planter with scalloped corners and eight sides, sitting on a small dark wooden stand. The planter is decorated with a scene depicting several people dressed in long robes standing in a garden setting with trees. The people to the left are gathered around something on the ground. One person in the center appears to be holding a long-handled tool. On the right side, two people face each other. The background of the image is plain and light colored. Jardiniere by Unknown.
