Grain Scoop

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photograph of a ceramic vessel. The vessel has a wide, shallow bowl. A handle is attached to the left side of the bowl, extending to the left. The handle is shaped like a reptile's head with a long snout, two small circular eyes, and a small mouth. The bowl and handle are made of dark-colored, rough-textured material with visible speckles and small holes. The background is a plain surface with a shadow cast by the vessel. The title of the image is "Grain Scoop" by an unknown artist.
