Wine Bottle

Hozan

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a wine bottle titled "Wine Bottle" by Hozan. The bottle is made of dark-colored material, possibly ceramic or glass, with a narrow neck and a wide body. The body of the bottle features a circular design with a floral pattern in the center, surrounded by swirling lines and shapes. The top portion of the bottle has a similar design with geometric patterns. The background of the image is light gray, with a small label at the bottom that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM". There is also a small piece of paper with some writing on it to the right of the bottle.
