Dish

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Round, white dish with a wide rim. A seated figure in a robe occupies the center. The figure sits on a scalloped round shape wearing a dark robe and appears to hold a bottle. Oriental-style writing lines the left side of the figure. A flower-like motif is at the top. Four cloud-like shapes are positioned around the dish. Two stems with leaves extend from the bottom center.
