Decorated Jar with Rope Pattern

Cleveland Museum of Art

Tan-colored ceramic jar with a rope pattern. The jar has a wide body that tapers to a narrow neck. The body is bulbous with a rounded base. The jar features a pattern of concentric circles and lines, reminiscent of a rope. The pattern consists of dark brown lines forming circular and diagonal designs. The background is dark gray, with the jar casting a shadow on the surface it sits on. The jar appears to be old and weathered, with visible signs of wear and tear. It is likely an example of ancient pottery. The artist of the piece is unknown. The title of the piece is "Decorated Jar with Rope Pattern".
