Shard with Three Goddesses

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The "Shard with Three Goddesses" by an unknown artist depicts a gray, irregularly shaped shard with a wavy top edge. The shard features three female figures. The central figure is fully visible, wearing a crown and a short skirt, with her hands raised. Two other female heads are visible on either side. The shard also features two shell-like designs, one on each side, below the figures. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from black at the top to white at the bottom.
