Covered Jar with Carved Lotus Petals

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Covered Jar with Carved Lotus Petals by unknown artist is a ceramic jar with a bulbous body and a lid. The jar's body features a glossy, sage green glaze and is adorned with carved lotus petals around its circumference. Three small handles are positioned on the upper part of the body, each designed to resemble a leaf. The lid is round and flat with a small circular indentation in the center, and it also features carved lotus petals. The jar has a small foot at its base. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom, with the jar casting a shadow to the right.
