Cup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a decorative Cup by artist Isamu Noguchi. The cup is made of dark gray stone or ceramic material. It has a wide mouth and a narrow base. The exterior surface features intricate carvings of leaves, vines, and grapes. The base of the cup appears to be carved into three legs resembling roots or vines. The cup is positioned at an angle, with the front facing slightly to the right. The background is plain white, with a slight reflection of the cup visible on the surface below it.
