Mill

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a small, gray, stone or clay model of a mill. The model has a sloping roof with ridges on top. The interior contains several objects, including a large round object with a circular indentation on top and a smaller cylindrical object next to it. There are also two other objects that resemble a mortar and pestle. The model appears to be weathered and worn, with visible signs of aging and deterioration. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The model, titled "Mill", is by an unknown artist.
