Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black and white photograph of a ceramic jar by artist Isamu Noguchi. The jar is tall and cylindrical with a narrow opening at the top. It has a glossy dark gray finish with small dark speckles across the surface. Horizontal lines are visible around the middle section. The background is a plain wall with a light source coming from the left side, casting a shadow to the right of the jar. The jar sits on a flat surface.
