Dish in Two Sections with Three Figures
The image depicts a stone carving titled "Dish in Two Sections with Three Figures" by an unknown artist. The object is circular with a decorative edge featuring scalloped patterns. The top section contains three figures carved in relief, sitting side by side on a flat surface. The figures are depicted with their legs below the knees cut off. The central figure is larger than the two on either side. The bottom section is divided from the top by a flat ledge and features a tree-like carving. The object appears to be made of stone and has a rough texture. The background of the image is gray, with a shadow cast by the object. The object is positioned at an angle, with a portion of it extending out of frame on the left side. The carving appears to be quite old and weathered.
