Patch Box

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Patch Box by unknown artist. Round, flat, silver-colored object with a lid. The object has a raised edge around the circumference. The top surface features an etched design consisting of four sections divided by straight lines with a geometric pattern. The etched design also features floral patterns. The object appears to be made of metal, likely silver, with visible signs of aging and wear. The object is sitting on a plain background that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
