Plate

Thomas Danforth Boardman

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The plate by Thomas Danforth Boardman is a circular metal plate. The plate has a raised rim around its edge. The center of the plate appears darker than the outer rim. The plate's surface shows signs of wear and tear, with scratches and discoloration visible. A small white label with typed text is placed below the plate. The label contains four lines of text, but the top two lines read "Object Metalwork" and the bottom two lines read "American (New York) ca. 1870-1880". The background of the image is a plain gray color.
