Shard

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a ceramic shard titled "Shard" by an unknown artist. The shard is white with black painted designs. The shard is positioned diagonally, with the top-right corner pointing towards the upper right of the image and the bottom-left corner pointing towards the lower left. The shard has a rough, uneven edge and appears to be broken off from a larger piece. The background of the image is light gray, with a subtle shadow effect around the shard.
