Shard: Forepaws of Carnivore

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Shard: Forepaws of Carnivore by Shard. The image shows a ceramic shard with a design. The shard is a light brown color and has a rough, uneven edge. The shard is mostly a trapezoid with the top side curved. The top half of the shard has a dark brown design. The design appears to be two stylized animal paws, possibly from a larger image of an animal. The paws are decorated with geometric patterns. The bottom half of the shard has several horizontal lines. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The shard casts a small shadow on the surface below it.
