Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Bowl by Unknown. A black and white photograph of a large, circular bowl. The bowl has a wide mouth and a narrow base. The interior surface of the bowl features an etched design. The design consists of a series of concentric circles. The innermost circle is plain. The next circle features a sunburst pattern. The next circle outward features a repeating pattern of eight curved, petal-like shapes. The outermost circle features a double-lined border. The area between the inner and outer circles features a repeating pattern of raised floral motifs. The bowl appears to be made of dark-colored ceramic or metal. The background is a plain, light-colored surface. A thin metal pin protrudes from the bottom of the bowl.
