Water Well

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The photograph shows a grey stone bowl titled "Water Well" by an unknown artist. The bowl has a rough, irregular shape with a wavy rim. The exterior of the bowl features a carved design resembling a wave or a leaf pattern. The surface of the bowl appears weathered and worn, with visible imperfections and markings. The background of the image is plain white, with a subtle shadow cast by the bowl. The bowl is positioned at an angle, with the front facing slightly to the right.
