Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a Jar with Loop Handle with Overall Impressed Surface Decoration by the artist Bernard Leach. The jar has a rounded body that bulges out in the middle and tapers slightly towards the top and bottom. The lid is round and flat with a slight lip around the edge. The jar and lid are primarily a light-brown color with darker brown and gray patches. The entire surface of the jar and lid have an impressed texture that looks like woven fabric. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The jar casts a shadow on the surface below it. The jar has a loop handle.
