Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White bowl with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The bowl features a gold rim with a thin black line underneath. There are six small black designs around the bowl, likely insects, with two on either side and one on the front and back not visible. On the front, a central design consists of a gold wreath-like shape with a blue and white shield underneath. Two gold birds or possibly lions flank the shield. The bowl is titled "Bowl" and is by an unspecified artist.
