Section of a Pebble

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph titled "Section of a Pebble" by an unidentified artist. The pebble is predominantly light-colored, with a darker top section. The pebble is irregularly shaped and appears to be cut in half. The cut surface reveals a smooth, flat interior. The pebble sits on a light-colored surface, with a shadow visible underneath and to the right. A small number "8" is printed in black on the top right of the pebble. The pebble has a rough edge around its circumference. There are two small dark spots on the interior surface of the pebble. A thin crack runs through the center of the pebble.
