Black and white photo of a short, rounded ceramic piece titled "Shard" by an unidentified artist. The piece has a short base with four rounded, ridged sections stacked on top of one another. The base leads to a wider, short bowl with a rounded lip. The bowl is cut into two deep sections on either side. The edges are rough and unrefined with bumps and texture throughout. The surface is smooth with streaks and marks. The background is white with a shadow behind the piece.
