About this work

This is a round dish with a simple cream background. The edges have a border of dark blue shapes that look like leaves and flowers. Inside, there’s a cluster of blue dots and lines forming a tree-like shape with a greenish center. The greenish center might be a tiny cross—it’s small but noticeable. The dish looks old, with some wear on the edges. Next, check out latin cross to see how simple symbols like this were used in older art.
