Red-Burnished Jug

Cleveland Museum of Art

Red-Burnished Jug by artist unknown. The jug has a rounded body and a short, narrow neck. The body is bulbous, roughly spherical in shape. The surface is predominantly reddish-brown with areas of lighter brown and white, suggesting a burnished finish. A single handle is attached to the left side, near the top. The background is dark gray and black, fading to lighter gray towards the center. The jug casts a shadow on the surface below.
