Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White ceramic bowl with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The bowl has a gold rim with a rope-like pattern. A crest is painted on the front, featuring a shield with three black stars on a white background and a black band with a white flower across it, surrounded by gold and ornate designs. The crest is flanked by floral arrangements on either side. The bowl sits on a gray surface with a darker gray background, casting a shadow to the right. The title of the image is "Bowl". The artist is not visually identified in the image.
