Storage Jar

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Storage Jar by an unknown artist is a large, ovoid vessel with a lid. The jar has a wide body that tapers to a narrow base. The surface is primarily brown and beige with darker brown and reddish-brown patches. A horizontal line encircles the jar just below the lid, and above this line, there are etched crisscross patterns. The lid is domed with a small, broken handle on top. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
