Seal-Paste Box

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Seal-Paste Box by artist Ruth Duckworth is a small, rounded container. The box has a shiny glaze finish. The top half of the box is pink, fading to brown and green towards the bottom. A thin line encircles the box near the base. The box sits on a flat, light grey surface. A shadow is cast to the left. Light reflections are visible on the top.
