Cricket cage

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a cricket cage titled "Cricket cage" by an unknown artist. The cage has a bulbous bottom and a narrow neck that flares out at the top. The bulbous bottom is smooth and light-colored. The narrow neck is darker and has a lip around the top. The lid is dome-shaped and has a small round knob on top. The lid is decorated with a woven pattern and two dragon-like creatures on either side. The cage sits on a small stand with three legs. The background is a plain light-colored wall.
