Salt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of an ornate, dark-colored metal object, titled "Salt", by artist unknown. The object is a small, three-sided container with a wide mouth and a flat base. The container has a ribbed base and sides that curve outward slightly. The exterior of the container features decorative etchings. The object's surface appears to have a textured, rough appearance. The object sits on a light-colored surface, with a shadow cast to the left. The background is a plain light-colored wall.
