Covered bowl with floral pattern

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a covered bowl with a floral pattern. The bowl is made of metal and has a wide body that tapers slightly towards the bottom. The bowl's body features vertical panels with floral designs. The panels are separated by narrow bands. A band of diamond shapes encircles the bowl above the panels. The lid is domed with a small knob on top and features a similar floral pattern to the body. The background appears to be a wrinkled white sheet or tablecloth.
