The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photograph of two ceramic pieces. The piece on the left is a bowl with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The bowl has a design around the top rim, and a larger design on the body featuring lions and other swirling patterns on a dark background. The bowl is sitting on a flat surface. The piece on the right is a plate or lid, lying on its side. The plate has a circular indentation in the center with a star-shaped design. The plate also has a design featuring lions and other swirling patterns on a dark background. Both pieces have a ruler or measuring device in front of them for scale. The background is a plain wall with translucent plastic sheeting or wrapping behind the pieces.
