The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black and white photograph of a sauceboat titled "Sauceboat" by an unknown artist. The sauceboat has a shiny surface and is ornately decorated with a scalloped edge along the top. It has a handle on one side and a spout on the other. The body of the sauceboat is divided into five sections, each featuring a different design. The designs include floral patterns and a central panel with a draped motif. A small metal ruler and a plaque with text reading "The Metropolitan Museum of Art" are placed in front of the sauceboat. The background is a plain wall with some handwritten numbers. The sauceboat sits on a flat surface.
