Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts the vase titled Vase by an unknown artist. The vase is made of carved white and grey stone. The vase features a unique shape with a narrow base that widens towards the top, resembling a rocky formation with mushrooms growing on it. The surface of the vase has a glossy finish and appears to be intricately carved with details such as the caps of mushrooms and the texture of the stone. The number "829" is handwritten on the upper left side. The background of the image is plain white, with a small label at the bottom that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM".
