Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a dark brown bottle. Oval in shape, the bottle has a wide body that tapers to a narrow opening at the top. A wide copper-colored band encircles the base. The bottle appears to be made of ceramic or clay. The background is a gradient of gray, transitioning from dark at the top to light at the bottom. The bottle casts a shadow on the surface below it. The artist and title of this piece are Bottle.
