Footed dish with Thai mythical figures

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Footed dish with Thai mythical figures by an unknown artist is a black and white image of a decorative bowl. The bowl is large and shallow with a wide mouth and a short stem. The bowl and stem are decorated with a pattern of white flowers and leaves. The bowl sits on a flat surface and casts a shadow to the right. The background is a plain light-colored wall. The bowl appears to be made of metal. The rim of the bowl is scalloped. The base of the stem is wider than the top. The pattern on the bowl and stem appears to be etched or inlaid. The image is in black and white.
