This image is a black and white etching or drawing of a highly ornate vessel which appears to be a decorative bowl or perhaps an incense burner, standing on a similarly decorated pedestal. The bowl is adorned with various embellishments including what looks like a classical frieze pattern and three dimensional figures, possibly cherubs or sphinxes, sitting on its edge. At the top of the vessel sits a smaller, detailed object with a lid, which could be a smaller censer or urn, also intricately designed. The intricacy of the artwork suggests that the vessel depicted could be made of a precious metal, and it might be a piece from a historical or archaeological context. The picture also has handwriting at the bottom, which appears to be a note regarding a gift from a person named Paul J. Sachs, dating from March 19, 1928. The note mentions that the piece is a proof before letters and before the number is indicated, suggesting that this is one of the early prints before the edition was finalized for wider distribution.
