A reflective silver pot cover features a circular lid topped with a bud-shaped finial detailed with small petals. The finial sits upon a disk of radiating, raised lines. Below this pattern, the polished lid flares outward to a wider rim. From our viewpoint, a rectangular notch is cut into the bottom edge, revealing a dark, hollow interior. Bright highlights glint across the curved, metallic surfaces of the entire piece.
