Mug

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White cylindrical mug with a wide mouth. The mug features a colorful scene with people in traditional clothing. The scene includes a woman in a green dress sitting on a low chair; she faces a woman in a pink and blue dress standing to her right. A low table and a framed object are on the left side of the scene; a wall with a hanging object is in the background. The scene is bordered by a blue patterned band at top and bottom. The blue pattern includes gold-colored highlights. The mug sits on a gray gradient background.
