Covered bowl with floral patterns

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The covered bowl with floral patterns by the artist is a black and white image of a large, ornate container. The object has a wide body that tapers slightly at the top and a short neck. A wide, decorative lid with a small finial at the top covers the bowl. The entire object is decorated with intricate floral patterns and other designs. The floral patterns are etched into the surface of the object, which appears to be made of metal. The object sits on a flat surface, and the background is a plain gray color. The bowl has a wide base that is slightly narrower at the top. The lid has multiple stacked, rounded sections that decrease in size. The body and lid of the bowl have three horizontal bands with small circular cutouts. The floral patterns are etched into the surface. The base of the bowl features a decorative band around the bottom. The object has a height that is greater than its width. The object is positioned centrally in the image.
