Waste-water basin

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a ceramic vessel by artist Isamu Noguchi, titled "Waste-water basin". The object is a dark-colored, rounded bowl with a wide mouth and a narrow lip. The bowl's body is bulbous, with a slight narrowing at the bottom. It appears to be made of dark clay or ceramic material with a rough texture. The surface features horizontal grooves around the middle section. The background is plain white with a slight shadow underneath the object.
