Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Bowl by artist. Large bowl with wide mouth and rounded body. The bowl has a short foot. The interior and exterior surfaces are decorated with intricate designs. The interior features a repeating pattern of diamond and quatrefoil shapes in black and white. The exterior displays a design that includes curved lines, floral motifs, and geometric patterns. The bowl appears to be made of a material that could be ceramic or metal, given the reflective quality and shading. The background of the image is plain and light-colored, which helps to highlight the bowl's details.
