Plate with Bamboo, Peonies, and Birds

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a large, round plate with a wide rim. The plate features a white background with a black design. The plate's rim has a double-line border and is decorated with a repeating pattern of bamboo and peonies. Inside the plate, there are two birds flying near a branch with peonies. A small rectangular seal or stamp is located on the left side of the plate. The plate appears to be propped up on its side against a white wall, casting a shadow on the surface below.
