Jar

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a jar with a wide body and a narrow mouth. The jar is made of clay and has a light-brown color. It has a textured pattern on its surface, with many small, evenly spaced lines crisscrossing each other. The jar's body is bulbous, curving outward from the bottom to about two-thirds up, then tapering slightly inward to form the shoulder. The mouth of the jar is relatively small and rounded. The background behind the jar is black at the top and fades to gray toward the bottom, where the jar casts a shadow. The jar appears to be old and worn.
