Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a bowl by artist "Bowl". The bowl is positioned centrally in the image. The bowl has a wide, rounded body that curves inward to form the interior. The bowl's exterior is scratched and marked with small dark spots. The base of the bowl is short and wide, with two ridges around its circumference. The bowl appears to be made of metal, likely silver or another reflective material, as it reflects light and shows a faint image of the photographer. The background of the image is white, with shadows cast by the bowl on the surface below it.
