Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Bowl by an unknown artist is a black and white photograph of a white ceramic bowl. The bowl is shallow and wide, with a rounded lip. The exterior features a design with a flower and leaves on the front, accompanied by three additional oval-shaped motifs on the sides. The interior rim has a leaf pattern. The background of the image is dark, with the bowl sitting on a dark surface. The overall appearance suggests an older piece.
