Bowl

Hervey Brooks

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bowl by Hervey Brooks is a brown ceramic bowl with a wide mouth and rounded body. The interior and exterior of the bowl feature a brown base color with multiple concentric rings of yellow glaze that are wavy and irregular. The rings on the interior of the bowl are more prominent, with a central, star-shaped design formed by a yellow glaze. The background of the image is gray, with a shadow cast by the bowl on the surface below it.
