Monteith Bowl

Benjamin Pyne

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Monteith Bowl by Benjamin Pyne is a large, ornate metal bowl. The bowl has a wide, rounded body with a short, thick base. It features a decorative scalloped edge around the top, with a repeating pattern of curved shapes resembling shells or leaves. There are two handles on either side of the bowl, each consisting of a curved piece of metal. A large, intricate crest or coat of arms is engraved on the front of the bowl. The bowl appears to be made of a shiny, off-white or gold-colored metal, possibly silver or another precious metal. The background of the image is a gradient of dark gray to light gray, with the bowl casting a shadow on the surface below it.
