Fragment of a Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a Fragment of a Bottle by an unknown artist. The object in the image is a small, dark gray, ceramic or glass fragment. The fragment is positioned with the opening facing left. It has a wide mouth with five small protrusions around the edge. Below the mouth, there is a slight narrowing, followed by a wider section with a horizontal ridge around its circumference. The object appears to be a piece of a bottle or vase. The background of the image is a light gray color, providing a neutral contrast to the darker object. The object is centered in the image.
