Vessel in the Form of an Ostrich Egg

Cleveland Museum of Art

The vessel is a rounded, egg-like shape with a narrow opening at the top. It is made of a smooth, off-white material that appears to be stone or ceramic. The surface of the vessel is glossy and reflects light, with some subtle variations in color and texture. A small lip is visible around the top edge of the opening. The background is a solid dark gray color, providing contrast to the light-colored vessel. The vessel sits on a flat surface, casting a shadow to the left.
