Dish

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a dish. The dish is round and shallow with a wide mouth. It appears to be made of a smooth, translucent material, possibly glass or crystal, and has a subtle sheen. The dish has an etched design on the inside, which appears to be a simple geometric pattern. There is a small number "485" printed in black on the front of the dish. The background of the image is solid black, with a slight shadow visible underneath the dish. The dish appears to be titled "Dish" by an unknown artist.
