About this work

This is a round, painted plate with bright blue and teal colors. The center shows a small, simple drawing of a person diving or jumping into a circle of dots. Around the edge are repeating patterns of leaves and flowers, also in blue. The border has a dotted line separating the center from the outer designs. The plate’s colors are bold and flat, with no shading to make things look 3D. The diving figure is the only human shape, and it’s placed right in the middle like a focal point. If you like this kind of decorative art, check out the Museum of Ethnography.
