Jug or Pitcher

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Jug or Pitcher by an unknown artist depicts a green, aged metal vessel with a rounded body and a short neck. The jug's body is bulbous and roughly spherical in shape. The neck is short and slightly narrower than the body. A handle extends from the left side of the jug, curving upward and then back down to attach to the body. The jug's surface is covered in a green patina. The background is a gradient from black at the top to white at the bottom, with the jug casting a shadow on the surface below it.
