Perfume receptacle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photo of two identical perfume receptacles. The receptacles have a rectangular shape with rounded corners and are made of metal. They feature intricate cut-out designs on their flat surfaces; one depicts a central oval surrounded by patterns and the other has a symmetrical floral pattern. Each receptacle has a loop attached at the top for hanging. They are adorned with a flower-shaped metal piece below the rectangular part, from which long tassels hang. The background is plain white, and a partial label at the bottom reads 'THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM'. The perfume receptacles are likely made by an unknown artist.
