Shard

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a grayscale, close-up view of a broken ceramic piece titled "Shard" by an unidentified artist. The shard has a jagged edge and is irregularly shaped with six sides. A circular indentation is visible in the center, featuring two concentric circles. The shard appears to be made of a light-colored material with darker speckles and marks throughout. The background is light gray with a shadow cast by the shard.
