Stand

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a ceramic piece titled "Stand" by an unknown artist. The piece is predominantly a light green color with a circular base that tapers outwards. The base supports a short, wide cylindrical section with vertical etched lines around it. Above the cylindrical section is a wide, shallow dish-like area with a slightly raised edge. The entire piece appears to be made of ceramic or porcelain. The background of the image is a gradient from dark grey at the top to light grey at the bottom. The piece casts a shadow to the right. The overall shape resembles a shallow dish or a hat.
