Salt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a glass bowl titled "Salt" by an unknown artist. The bowl has a scalloped edge and features an intricate design with a lattice pattern. The bowl sits on a base with three legs, each leg resembling a claw. The base has a decorative edge with vertical lines and a small lip around the bottom. The background of the image is a plain gray color, and the bowl casts a shadow to the left. The overall shape of the bowl is rounded with a wide mouth. The lattice pattern consists of diamond shapes and circles. The bowl appears to be made of a dark-colored glass or metal.
