Bowl (Maigelein)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Bowl (Maigelein) by Adolf Wissel is a green jade bowl with a rounded shape. The bowl has a wide mouth and a short foot. It appears to be made of a single piece of carved jade. The surface of the bowl is smooth but not polished. Small imperfections and natural markings are visible on the surface. The color is predominantly green with some yellow and brown patches. The bowl is sitting on a white surface, casting a faint shadow. The background is plain white.
