Garden Pot

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Garden Pot by an unknown artist is a stone planter. The pot's body is cylindrical with a wide mouth and a slightly narrower base. The exterior is carved with intricate relief decorations. There are two humanoid figures with leafy hair on either side of a plant. On the left and right sides are depictions of creatures. A band of vertical grooves encircles the lower part of the pot's body. The color of the pot is primarily gray with brown discoloration. The background of the image is dark gray to light gray, transitioning from top to bottom. A shadow is cast underneath the pot.
