Platter

James and Ralph Clews

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Oval-shaped platter with scalloped edge. The platter has a wide decorative border with floral designs and scrollwork. Inside the border, an intricate scene depicts a landscape with trees, a horse-drawn carriage on a road, a body of water, and a distant mountain range. The image on the platter is in black and white. The platter appears to be made of silver or another shiny metal. The background of the image is dark gray.
