Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a ceramic bowl titled "Bowl" by an unknown artist. The bowl is positioned centrally in the image, viewed from the front. The bowl is dark gray and made of ceramic. The bowl has a wide mouth and a narrow base. The bowl's body features a ribbed texture. The bowl's interior and exterior surfaces exhibit a subtle sheen. A small, rectangular white label with black text is placed in front of the bowl, reading "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART 1929". To the left of the label is a small, rectangular ruler with markings. The background of the image is a plain light grey color.
