Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Red bowl with a wide, shallow body and a short, circular base. The interior of the bowl features a design in gold, depicting what appears to be pine tree branches and a bird in flight. The gold design does not cover the entire interior surface, leaving some red space visible. The exterior of the bowl is solid red. The bowl is titled "Bowl" and is a work by the artist.
