Dish

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photograph of a ceramic dish. The dish has a white rim. The interior of the dish is black with a central oval panel. Inside the panel is a dog-like creature. The panel has a scalloped border. The rest of the dish has symmetrical floral designs separated by curved tendrils. The floral designs are four sets of two on either side of the panel. Each set has a larger flower on the top and bottom and a smaller flower on the side. Small floral patterns fill in the gaps between the designs. The dish sits on a plain background.
