The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a large glass bowl on a stand. The bowl is clear and has a rounded shape with a wide mouth. The bowl has a swirling pattern inside, with curved lines that resemble a shell. The bowl sits on a black metal stand with three curved legs. The background is a plain wall. The floor is shiny and reflects light. A small piece of paper on the floor reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART." in black text. The title of the piece is "Globe" by an unknown artist.
