Dish

Myer Myers

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Large, shallow bowl made of silver-colored metal. The bowl has a wide mouth and a scalloped edge. It appears to be made of a hammered metal, giving it a textured appearance. The surface has a subtle sheen and shows signs of aging or wear, with darker spots and discoloration on the inside and outside. The background is a plain gray color, and the bowl casts a faint shadow on the surface below. The bowl is by Myer Myers.
