Censer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The ceramic piece titled "Censer" by an unspecified artist is a rounded, bowl-like object with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The exterior surface features a dark brown or black color with numerous thin, lighter brown vertical lines that cover the entire body. The lines are spaced evenly apart and run from the top to the bottom of the piece. The interior of the bowl is a solid dark brown or black color. The background of the image is a gradient of gray, transitioning from light to dark. A shadow is cast to the right of the piece.
