Deep Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black bowl titled "Deep Bowl" by the artist Isamu Noguchi. The bowl is a deep, rounded ceramic vessel. The bowl is black with a glossy finish. The base of the bowl is a lighter color, likely ceramic, and appears to be unglazed. The bowl's body tapers inward slightly at the top. The bottom of the bowl is slightly narrower than the widest part. The background of the image is light gray. The bowl sits on a surface that matches the background. The bowl casts a faint shadow on the surface.
