Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a bowl on a table. The bowl is ceramic with a wide mouth and a narrow base. It has a rough, uneven texture and is primarily shades of brown and gray. The glaze on the bowl is mostly intact but has large chips missing on the right side. The table the bowl sits on appears to be covered in off-white fabric or paper. The background includes a white door frame and shelves. There are objects on the shelves, but they are not clearly visible. The artist of the bowl is not visually identifiable in the image, but the title of the piece is "Bowl".
