Plate

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a plate titled "Plate" by an unknown artist. The plate is round and white with a wide rim. The rim has a black and white design around its edge. The design on the rim features a pattern of curved lines and shapes, including what appears to be a repeating motif of four curved black shapes resembling clouds or waves. The center of the plate features a black and white illustration of a scene with buildings, trees, mountains, and animals. The buildings appear to be pagodas or temples. A boat is visible on the left side of the plate. The background of the image is gray.
