Horn-shaped drinking cup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Horn-shaped drinking cup by an unknown artist is a beige-colored object resembling a horn. The object is curved, resembling a crescent shape or a boomerang, with one end tapering to a point and the other end open. The opening is circular. The surface appears to have small holes and imperfections. The object casts a shadow on a gray surface, with the background transitioning from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
