Vamplate

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two metal objects. Both objects are made of dark gray metal and have a conical shape with the top cut off. The object on the left is wider at the bottom and narrows to a small circular opening at the top. The object on the right is wider and more rounded. It appears to be resting on its side. Both objects have intricate designs etched into them, including patterns of flowers, leaves, and geometric shapes. The background is a plain gray color. The objects are labeled as Vamplate by the artist.
