Water Coupe

The image shows a black-and-white photo of a ceramic object titled "Water Coupe" by an unknown artist. The object is long and irregularly shaped, resembling a gourd or a pod, with a narrow end on the left and a wider, more rounded end on the right. The rounded end has a circular hole at the top. The object's surface features raised, wavy lines and protrusions that resemble leaves or flowers. The object is lying on its side, with the narrow end pointing to the left. The background is plain and light-colored. A small line of text along the bottom center reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM". A small piece of paper or film with numbers is visible on the left side of the object.
