Food Bowl

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Food Bowl by the Maidu artist is a woven basket bowl. The bowl shape is wide and rounded with a flat bottom. The bowl's color is light brown with thin horizontal stripes. There are dark brown zigzag patterns running horizontally across the bowl. The bowl appears to be made of woven fibers. The background is dark gray and gradients to light gray at the bottom. The bowl casts a shadow on the surface below it.
