Cleveland Museum of Art

The object is a light green, ceramic pot. The pot has a wide, rounded body and a flat top. It has three legs, one on each side, which are shaped like curved feet. The pot features a relief design on the front, depicting two flowers with leaves. The flowers have many petals and are positioned next to each other. The leaves are oval-shaped and have pointed tips. The relief design is also light green, matching the rest of the pot. The background of the image is black at the top and gradually fades to gray towards the bottom. A shadow is cast to the right of the pot. The pot sits on a gray surface.
