Water Jug

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts an earthenware vessel known as 'Water Jug', created by an unknown artist. The vessel has a bulbous body with a narrow neck and a small mouth. The body is predominantly dark brown with patches of lighter brown. The upper part of the body features a decorative band consisting of two simple lines with a braided pattern in between. Below this band, there are four triangular sections with hatched lines. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The object casts a shadow on the surface below it.
