The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Bowl with floral pattern by unidentified artist. A ceramic bowl with rounded body and short foot. The body features a design on dark background with white outlines and accents; the design appears to be cut out, with eight curved shapes resembling tree trunks dividing the bowl into sections. The sections contain curving patterns resembling leaves and flowers. Near the rim, a band. The bowl is viewed from the front at an angle, with the rim parallel to the top edge of the image. The image is in black and white.
