Brush Washer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a rounded object titled "Brush Washer". The object is wide and shallow with a large circular depression in the top. It appears to be made of stone. The outer surface is smooth and shiny. The side of the object curves inward to form the depression. A small dark blemish or chip is on the right side near the top. A white ruler-like measuring device is placed in front and reads "The Metropolitan Museum". The background is light gray.
