Dish in the shape of a chrysanthemum flower

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Green jade dish with a circular shape, resembling a chrysanthemum flower. The dish has a wide, flat base and a rounded rim. It features a series of concentric ridges that radiate from the center, creating a textured, flower-like pattern. The jade is a vibrant green color with some darker green and black speckles throughout. The background of the image is a gradient of gray, transitioning from dark at the top to light at the bottom. The dish casts a slight shadow on the surface below it.
