Fragment of a Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black and white photograph of a Fragment of a Bottle by an unknown artist. The object is a dark gray, irregularly shaped piece with a rough texture. It has a curved top edge resembling a lip, and a small circular hole on the right side. The surface is uneven and appears to have small specks or bumps. The background is a plain light gray color. The object appears to be an ancient or antique item, possibly a fragment of a ceramic or glass bottle. It is positioned centrally in the frame, with no other objects visible. The overall appearance suggests an archaeological or museum artifact.
