Crystal Ball on Stand

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Crystal Ball on Stand by an unknown artist. The image features a large, clear glass sphere sitting on a decorative stand. The glass sphere is perfectly round and smooth with a reflective surface that shows a few small white spots. The stand is ornately carved with a wide base that tapers upwards, featuring carved floral or leaf-like designs. The stand's base has a series of curved lines radiating from the center. The background is a plain gray color with the object casting a shadow to the left.
