Mosquito Smoker

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a ceramic vessel titled "Mosquito Smoker" by an unknown artist. The vessel has a rounded body with a wide mouth and a smaller, perforated top. The body features an embossed design around its circumference consisting of leaves and two birds. The vessel appears to be made of clay or ceramic material with visible cracks on its surface. The top portion of the vessel also features an embossed floral design with perforations throughout. A small ruler or measuring scale is placed in front of the vessel on a flat surface, and a small sign with text reading "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART" is positioned to the right of the scale. The background of the image is plain and light-colored.
