Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White ceramic bowl with a wide mouth and a short foot. The bowl features a gold-colored chain-like pattern around the rim. On the front, a crest is centered, comprising a shield with a black stripe and three white stars, surrounded by gold filigree. The crest is adorned with blue and gold decorative elements on top and red, yellow, and green floral patterns on either side. A brown bird sits atop the crest. The background of the image is gray, with the bowl casting a shadow to the right. The bowl is titled "Bowl" and is by an unspecified artist.
