Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a vase by artist Unknown. The vase is made of dark material, possibly stone or metal, and features intricate carvings. The vase has a wide top that tapers slightly towards the bottom, with a short neck and a wider base. The vase is decorated with carvings of flowers, leaves, and geometric patterns. The carvings are symmetrical on either side of the vase. There is a small number "910" written in white on the front of the vase, just below the neck. The background of the image is light gray with a white border on the right side. The bottom of the image shows a small line of black text.
