Pot

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black cauldron titled "Pot" by artist unknown. The cauldron is made of dark gray or black metal, possibly iron, with a rough texture and visible hammer marks on its surface. It has a rounded body that is wider at the top than at the bottom, with a slightly curved lip around the top edge. Two small handles are attached on either side, near the top. A metal band encircles the middle of the pot, with a wavy design in the front. The background is solid white.
