The image is a black-and-white photograph of a ceramic bowl titled "Saucer" by an unknown artist. The bowl has a wide mouth and a narrow base, with a small foot at the bottom. The bowl is predominantly white on the inside and fades to a darker shade towards the bottom. The rim of the bowl is chipped in several places. A small rectangular sign with a ruler on it sits in front of the bowl, on a flat surface. The sign reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". The background is a plain wall behind the bowl. The bowl casts a shadow to the right.
