Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Bowl by Unknown Artist. The image is a black-and-white photograph of a ceramic bowl with a decorative design. The bowl is positioned centrally in the image, viewed from above and slightly angled. The bowl has a wide mouth and a narrow base. The interior surface of the bowl features a circular design with a central circle surrounded by concentric rings. The central circle contains a floral pattern. The surrounding area has a design of stylized animals and foliage in a lighter shade than the rest of the bowl. The bowl appears to be made of dark-colored ceramic material. A small white ruler or measuring device is placed in front of the bowl, along with a small white sign that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". The background of the image is a plain light-gray color.
