Dish with Apollo and Daphne
The image depicts a circular, bronze-colored dish with a raised design. The dish is shallow and features a decorative border around its edge. The border consists of a repeating pattern of interlocking shapes. Inside the dish, there are two human figures. The figure on the left appears to be a woman with long hair, wearing a short dress. She is running to the right and looking backward. Her left arm is extended behind her, and her right arm is bent at the elbow. The figure on the right is a man with short hair, wearing a loincloth or short pants. He has his arms extended toward the woman and appears to be reaching for her. The background of the image is plain gray, with a shadow cast by the dish to the right. The title of the piece is "Dish with Apollo and Daphne" by an unknown artist.
