Dish with Stylized Floral Pattern

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The dish is round and flat with a white rim. The body of the dish is decorated with a repeating pattern of diamond shapes and floral motifs. The background of the dish is blue. The diamond shapes are outlined in white and filled with a red flower-like design surrounded by green and white details. The floral motifs are white with some green accents. The pattern is repeated in a grid across the entire surface of the dish. The dish is centered in the image, with a gray gradient background that is dark at the top and light at the bottom. The dish casts a slight shadow on the surface below it.
