Drum

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a gray stone drum titled "Drum" by the artist. The drum appears to be made of stone or metal and has a rough texture, with visible speckles and marks on its surface. The drum is shaped like a truncated cone, with a wider top and bottom than the middle. The top portion resembles a bowl, while the bottom flares out. A decorative band encircles the middle, featuring a pattern of lines and shapes. Two small handles are positioned on either side of the drum, just below the top. The background of the image is solid black.
