Brush Washer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rounded, shallow bowl with a wide mouth. The bowl is made of a speckled gray material, possibly stone or ceramic. It has a smooth, glossy finish and appears to be fairly thick. The bowl's exterior is mostly gray with darker gray or black speckles. A crack runs along the side of the bowl. The interior of the bowl is lighter gray with some darker areas near the top. A small, rectangular ruler or measuring device is placed in front of the bowl. The background is a plain, light-colored surface, with a slight shadow underneath the bowl. The image is in black and white and labeled "Brush Washer".
