Covered Box

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a closed, oval-shaped box with a smooth surface. The box is made of metal, likely silver or pewter, and has a dark patina. It is positioned with the lid closed, and the seam where the lid meets the base is visible. The box has a few small scratches and marks on its surface. The background of the image is light gray, and the box casts a slight shadow on the surface below it. The box appears to be the "Covered Box" by an unknown artist.
