Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a ceramic bottle by artist Kono. The bottle has a narrow neck and a wide body. The body is round and flat on the bottom. A decorative band encircles the middle of the body. The band features a design of swirling lines and shapes. The neck is long and tapering, with a small opening at the top. The background is a plain light-colored wall. The bottle appears to be sitting on a flat surface.
