Bottom of a steamer (Fu)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a metal bowl titled "Bottom of a steamer (Fu)" by an unknown artist. The bowl is positioned centrally in the image, with its opening facing upwards. The bowl has a wide mouth and a narrow base, with a rounded body that curves inward slightly towards the bottom. It is made of dark green metal with visible signs of wear and tear, including rust spots and a rough texture. Two small handles are attached to either side of the bowl. The background of the image is a plain gray color, which helps to highlight the details of the bowl. The bowl casts a faint shadow on the surface below it. The overall appearance of the bowl suggests that it is an old or antique item.
