Box with Geometric Patterns

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a round box with geometric patterns by artist Isamu Noguchi titled "Box with Geometric Patterns". The box is circular and flat, with a slightly raised edge around the perimeter. The box has a beige or off-white color with a smooth surface. The top and sides of the box are covered in geometric patterns, which appear to be etched or carved into the surface. The patterns consist of interlocking lines and shapes, including squares, triangles, and circles. The patterns are intricate and densely packed, covering the entire surface of the box. The background of the image is a plain gray color, with a subtle gradient that darkens towards the top. The box casts a slight shadow on the surface below it.
