Alms Bowl

Cleveland Museum of Art

Large, rounded bowl with a wide mouth and a flat bottom. The bowl is made of a brass or gold-colored metal with a smooth, shiny surface. The surface has a decorative etched design featuring intricate, swirling patterns and flowers. The etchings are darker than the rest of the bowl, creating a contrasting effect. Dark spots are scattered across the surface, giving it a worn, aged appearance. The background is a gradient gray color, with the bowl casting a shadow on the surface below. The title of the piece is "Alms Bowl".
