Water Jar (Globular Jar)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Water Jar (Globular Jar) by Unknown Artist shows a terracotta-colored clay pot with a bulbous body and a short, narrow neck. The pot is rounded and roughly spherical in shape, with a flat lip at the top. It has a rough, unglazed texture and appears to be made from natural clay. The surface is light brown with darker brown and black spots and marks. The background is dark gray, with the pot casting a shadow on the surface below it.
