Covered Box

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a Covered Box, by artist Joseph Csaky. The object is a small, oval-shaped box with a lid. The box and lid are made of dark-colored stone or metal, possibly slate or silver. The lid is closed and has a slight sheen to it. A thin line runs around the middle of the box, where the lid meets the base. The box has a smooth, rounded shape with no visible handles or other features. It sits on a plain surface, casting a shadow to the right. The background is light gray.
