Container of Crushed Garnets

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a small, round, clear glass container filled with crushed garnets. The container is made of clear glass and has a circular shape. It is filled with small, dark red-brown crushed garnet particles. A small white label on top of the container reads "CRUSHED GARNETS" in black handwriting. The container sits on a plain gray surface, casting a shadow to the left. The artist of the piece is unidentifiable, but the title is "Container of Crushed Garnets".
