Bowl

Cleveland Museum of Art

Bowl by unknown artist. The bowl is made of metal, with a wide mouth and curved sides that slope inward to form a rounded base. The color of the bowl is primarily a dull gold or brass tone. The bowl features an etched design around its exterior. The design includes a pattern of figures and animals enclosed within circular borders. The top edge of the bowl has a decorative border composed of small dots and curving lines. The figures depicted appear to be human and are engaged in various activities. There are also depictions of birds and foliage throughout the design. The bowl sits on a gray surface, with a shadow cast underneath it. The background behind the bowl is dark gray, transitioning to black at the top.
