Ewer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white ceramic ewer with a handle, titled "Ewer", by an unknown artist. The ewer has a narrow base that widens towards the middle and then tapers to a flared opening at the top. The handle is attached to the body and the top of the ewer, curving upwards. The body of the ewer features a dark-colored design resembling leaves. A cluster of grapes and leaves is attached to the right side of the ewer's body. The background is a plain gray color, with the ewer sitting on a flat surface. The image is in black and white.
