Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a bowl by artist unknown. The bowl is made of clay and is bulbous in shape. The bowl has a wide mouth and a narrow rim. The body of the bowl is rounded with a slight narrowing at the bottom. The bowl features a design of two wavy lines that encircle the bowl, one above the other, near the top. Above the wavy lines are three raised horizontal lines that also encircle the bowl. The background of the image is gray, with a shadow cast by the bowl on the surface below it. The image is in black and white.
