Burial Urn with Cover

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a burial urn with a cover. The urn is made of clay and has a brownish-gray color. It is shaped like a large vase with a wide body that tapers slightly at the bottom. The body of the urn is bulbous with a rounded shoulder and a narrow foot. The cover is dome-shaped and sits on top of the urn. The cover and urn are both unadorned. The background of the image fades from black at the top to gray at the bottom. A shadow is cast by the urn onto the surface below it.
