Design for a Tureen 19th century

This 19th-century design for a tureen, created by an anonymous artist, features a grand, ornately-decorated vessel. The tureen is adorned with three lion heads, each with a ring, and a lid topped with a female figure wearing a headdress. The design suggests a grand and opulent piece of silver, likely for use in a wealthy household. The detailed pencil drawing, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, offers a glimpse into the aesthetics of silverware design during the 19th century.
