Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Bowl by an unknown artist depicts a round, decorative bowl with a floral design. The bowl has a wide mouth and a flat bottom. The bowl's surface features an intricate floral pattern with leaves and flowers. A beaded border encircles the edge of the bowl. The bowl appears to be made of metal, possibly silver or another precious material. The image of the bowl is in black and white. The background of the image is a plain surface, likely a table or countertop, with some shadows cast by the bowl.
