Conical cup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The conical cup by an unknown artist is a dark-colored, bulbous vessel with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The cup is positioned with its opening facing upwards and slightly towards the viewer. It has a smooth, glossy surface with visible signs of wear and a few small imperfections. The cup's body is roughly symmetrical, with the widest part in the middle and tapering down to a point at the bottom. The background of the image is light-colored, with a shadow cast by the cup on the left side. The overall shape of the cup is rounded, with no handles or other protrusions.
