Black and white image of a platter with a decorative floral border and a scene in the center. The platter is oval shaped with rounded corners. The border is decorated with flowers and leaves. The scene in the center depicts a large building with a dome roof and columns in the front. There are trees on either side of the building and a field with cows in the foreground. The cows are standing and some are lying down. The sky above the building appears cloudy. The platter is on a white background with a small white tag above it. The image is by John Rogers & Son.
