Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a bowl titled "Bowl" by an unknown artist. The bowl is centered and viewed from the front at a slight angle. The bowl's exterior is primarily white with a wide black band around its center. The band features a repeating pattern of white flowers and leaves. Inside the band on the front of the bowl, there is a large oval medallion. The medallion depicts a vase with a plant on the left and a hanging object on the right, with several small objects below. The bowl's interior is white with an image at the bottom, not clearly visible. A small white sign on the surface in front reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM". The bowl sits on a light-colored surface against a light-colored background.
