Dish

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Large, dark bowl with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The bowl is symmetrical and has a slightly uneven rim. It appears to be made of a dark material, possibly ceramic or metal, with a smooth, shiny interior surface that reflects light. The exterior surface is less shiny. The bowl has a small, illegible inscription on the front, near the base. The background is a plain, light-colored surface, possibly a table or shelf, with a subtle shadow cast by the bowl. The image is in black and white.
