Bowl (one of a pair)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bowl, one of a pair by an unknown artist titled "Bowl (one of a pair)", is a large, deep vessel with a wide mouth and a short, thick base. The bowl's exterior and interior surfaces feature a black and white design. The design consists of a black background with white wave-like patterns, floral motifs, and animal figures. The wave-like patterns are stylized and curved, resembling ocean waves or clouds. The floral motifs appear to be stylized flowers with multiple petals. The animal figures appear to be horses or similar creatures. The bowl's rim is thin and smooth, with a slight lip at the edge. The background of the image is a plain gray wall, with the bowl sitting on a light-colored surface, possibly a table or shelf.
