Temple Eave Tile with Lotus Design

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a dark gray, circular object with a raised design resembling a lotus flower. The object has a rough texture and appears to be made of stone or clay. The lotus design features a central circle with three small dots, surrounded by eight teardrop-shaped petals arranged in a symmetrical pattern. The petals are separated by lines that radiate from the center. The object's edge is irregular and rough, with some chipped areas. The background is white, with a subtle shadow cast by the object. The image presents the Temple Eave Tile with Lotus Design by an unknown artist.
