Footed Vessel

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Footed Vessel by unknown artist is a bulbous, dark-colored ceramic or metal object. It features a narrow base that widens into a bulbous body. The body then tapers slightly and flares out at the top to form a wide mouth. The surface appears weathered with visible scratches and discoloration. The base of the vessel has a short, sturdy foot. The overall color is dark gray with lighter gray and beige patches.
