Plate

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Round, flat plate with a wide rim. The plate is primarily yellow-beige with brown and green designs. Brown designs resemble leaves, flowers, and stems. Green patches are present around the center and near the rim. A green band with a zigzag pattern encircles the base. The plate's surface shows signs of wear and aging. The background transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
