Storage Jar: Tamba Ware

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Storage Jar: Tamba Ware is a ceramic vessel with a bulbous body that tapers towards the bottom, featuring a short neck and a small mouth. The jar has a brown base color with a green glaze that drips down from the top third of the body in irregular streaks. The glaze at the top of the jar transitions to a lighter brown color with a glossy finish. The background of the image is dark, with the jar casting a shadow on a gray surface.
