Trinket Box

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image features a white porcelain trinket box by artist Elisabeth Dinsdale titled "Trinket Box", rectangular in shape with a hinged lid. The box has a flat top and bottom, and a rope-like trim around the top edge. A fringe trim with tassels adorns the bottom edge. A dog with long ears and a long body lies on top of the box, facing right. The dog has a long snout and appears to be a breed with long hair. The background is a plain gray surface, possibly a table or floor.
