Box in the shape of a peach
The Box in the shape of a peach by an unknown artist is a grayscale image of a rounded box with a thick band around the bottom third. The top two-thirds are rounded like the top of a peach. The box is topped with carved leaves stacked on top and cascading over the right side. The leaves are in high relief. The box sits on three small feet. A small label on the front reads "04.6.26A". A larger label to the bottom right reads "The Metropolitan Museum". The box sits on a surface with a dark background.
