Large, round plate with a wide rim. The plate is white with a patterned border around the edge. The border has an inner and outer ring, with the outer ring being wider and having a more detailed design. The inner ring has a floral pattern. Inside the plate, there are floral designs and two birds, one on the right side and one on the left. The bird on the left is mostly obscured. The background of the image is plain and light-colored. There is a ruler or measuring device at the bottom of the image, partially obscured by a label that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM". The plate by an unknown artist is titled "Plate".
