Beaker

Benjamin Halsted

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Silver cup with a slightly flared mouth and a cylindrical body. The interior rim of the cup is shiny and made of silver. The exterior of the cup has a matte finish with a subtle sheen. An engraved design on the front features a bird with wings spread, sitting on top of a decorative element. Below the bird, there is an ornate monogram. The cup is set against a gray background that gradually darkens towards the top. The overall appearance suggests a formal or ceremonial item, possibly used for drinking. The title of the image is "Beaker" and the artist is Benjamin Halsted.
