Shard

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The shard by unknown artist titled "Shard" shows a piece of broken orange-reddish pottery with dark brown designs on it. The shard is positioned on a white surface, casting a shadow underneath. It has a rough edge on the left side and a relatively smooth edge at the top. The designs on the shard appear to be a mix of lines, geometric shapes, and abstract patterns. The top of the shard features two horizontal dark brown stripes. The main body of the shard displays a large, intricate design in dark brown, which resembles a stylized flower or plant motif, accompanied by additional linear and geometric patterns.
