The image is a black-and-white photograph of a large, shallow dish. The dish has a wide, rounded rim and a flat bottom. It is decorated with seven raised, curved figures around its interior edge. The figures appear to be animals with long tails, and are evenly spaced around the dish. They are all similar in shape but vary slightly in size and design. A ruler is placed along the bottom edge of the image, with numbers visible on it. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The image contains a text, 'Dish', implying it is the title; and 'The Metropolitan Museum of Art' indicating the collection the dish belongs to.
