Chalice

Israel Trask

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Chalice by Israel Trask: A black and white photograph of a dark-colored metal goblet. The goblet has a wide mouth with a slight lip at the top that tapers inward. The body of the goblet is bulbous in the middle and narrows down to a short stem. The base of the goblet is circular and flat. The goblet appears to be made of a dark metal, possibly silver or pewter, and has a shiny surface with some minor scratches and marks visible. The background of the image is plain white.
