About this work

This dish has a simple, rounded shape with a light background. In the center, there’s a painted scene of two people under a cross with a curved top. The figures look like they’re praying or holding something. Around the edge, there are clusters of red flowers and small blue dots. The cross in the middle is a common symbol in some cultures, often found in rural areas. The dish’s design suggests it might have been used for everyday purposes, not just decoration. Look up wayside cross to see how these symbols appear in other art and history.
