The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a gray, two-bowl dish. The bowls are side by side. The bowl on the left is more elongated with a curved handle extending to the left. The bowl on the right is more circular. The two bowls are connected by a decorative element in the middle. The decorative element consists of curved, overlapping pieces. The bowls have a textured surface with many small designs etched into them. The background is light grey. A small rectangular label at the bottom reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". The dish, titled "Water dish", is by an unknown artist.
