Water Jar (Olla)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Water Jar (Olla) by an unknown artist. A large, bulbous ceramic vessel with a short neck and rounded mouth. The vessel is primarily beige with black, brown and white designs. The designs include various geometric shapes such as triangles, circles and lines. There are also depictions of animals, including what appear to be deer or antelope. The background of the image is a gradient gray. The overall appearance of the vessel suggests it is an older piece.
