Pitcher

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black and white photograph of a ceramic pitcher titled "Pitcher" by an unknown artist. The pitcher has a wide base that tapers upward and curves inward at the top. The pouring spout is on the left; the handle, on the right. The pitcher features relief decoration including a woman's face on the front. The decoration includes raised curvy lines and rounded shapes; it covers the entire pitcher. The pitcher sits on a light-colored surface against a light-colored background. The pitcher casts a shadow on the surface to the right.
