Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bowl, by artist Isamu Noguchi, is a large, rounded vessel with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The bowl is made of a light-colored stone, possibly marble, with darker veins running through it. The surface of the bowl appears smooth and matte. The bowl is positioned on a flat surface, casting a shadow to the left. The background is a plain gray color, with a slight gradient from light to dark. The bowl is centered in the image, with its opening facing directly forward.
