Tall Jar with Rope Patterns

Tall Jar with Rope Patterns by an unknown artist. The object depicted is a tall, beige-colored ceramic vessel. The vessel's top is flared and incomplete on one side; it is missing a chip. A narrow base supports the vessel. The body of the vessel features a pattern made by lines arranged to resemble rope. A series of darker tan lines are also etched into the body. The background transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom. The object casting a shadow on the surface below.
