Miniature Stand for Game of Go

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a small white ceramic stand titled "Miniature Stand for Game of Go" by an unknown artist. The stand is square and has a glossy finish. It has four legs with a curved design at the bottom of each leg. The top of the stand has a grid pattern with 19x19 intersections, marked by thin white lines. There are 16 small black dots on the grid, arranged in a specific pattern. The background of the image is a solid gray color. The stand appears to be a miniature version of a traditional game board for the game of Go. The overall design of the stand is simple and elegant.
