Shallow Bowl
The Shallow Bowl by the artist shows a round, shallow bowl with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The bowl's interior and exterior surfaces are decorated with a design in shades of gray. The interior features a central motif surrounded by curved lines and shapes that spiral outward, with additional curved lines and geometric patterns around the bowl's interior. The exterior has a band of geometric pattern around the middle. The bowl appears to be ceramic or porcelain. The background of the image is light grey. The bowl sits on a small stand with a label underneath reading "The Metropolitan Museum".
