Basin

Joseph Leddel Sr.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a large, dark-colored metal bowl. The bowl has a wide mouth and a rounded body that tapers downward. The inside of the bowl is shiny and reflects light. The outside of the bowl appears duller and has some darker spots. The bowl has a thick rim around the top edge. The bowl is sitting on a flat surface, casting a shadow to the right. The background is light-colored and appears to be a plain surface.
