Double vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Double vase by Unknown Artist. The image is a black and white photograph of a carved crystal or glass vase. The vase is made of a translucent material with a dark coloration. The vase has an abstract and organic shape with a wide base that narrows towards the top and appears to have been carved to resemble a flower or a leaf. The vase has a number "871" etched into its side. The background of the image is plain and light-colored. A small rectangular label is placed in front of the vase, with the text "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART".
