Covered Box

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Covered Box by an unknown artist. Rectangular box with a flat top and flat base. The box and lid are made from a marbled stone or glass in shades of white and gray with darker gray veins. A twisted rope-like metal edging decorates the top and bottom of the lid and around the base. There is no visible opening or closure mechanism. The box sits on a white surface with a plain white background. The image is in black and white. The box is viewed at an angle.
