Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a large, white vase with a floral design. The vase is bulbous with a narrow opening at the top. It has a wide body that tapers towards the bottom. The vase features a black floral pattern covering most of its surface. The pattern includes various flowers and leaves. A decorative band encircles the vase, just above the bottom. The background of the image is gray and appears to be a plain wall or backdrop. The vase appears to be titled "Jar" by an unknown artist.
