Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bowl by an unknown artist is a deep, wide vessel made of dark-colored material, likely ceramic or glass. The bowl's body is glossy and features horizontal ridges. It has a flat bottom and a wide mouth with a slightly raised rim. The bowl sits on a flat surface, casting a shadow underneath, against a plain background transitioning from dark at the bottom to light at the top.
