Abstract
A frog looks on as the mother supposedly shows her child how to walk straight. I am not sure what this fable might have to do with the serving of cake! Over half of the design on the top surface of this serving plate is open space, pond, and reeds. Around the base are two designs, apparently independent of each other: two birds on a branch and a rabbit.
