Footed dish with floral pattern

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The footed dish has an etched floral pattern and is made of what appears to be a dark metal. The dish is bowl-shaped with a wide mouth and a short stem. The base of the dish is flared. The entire dish is decorated with an intricate floral pattern that covers the exterior and interior surfaces. The interior of the dish has a repeating pattern of shapes, possibly a geometric lattice design. The exterior of the dish and the base have a more organic floral pattern. The background of the image is plain and light-colored.
