Covered Jar with Four Lugs

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The jar has a rounded body with a narrow base that curves outward and then inward to form the rounded body. The jar has a short neck and a domed lid with a small knob on top. There are four lugs, two on each side of the body. The jar is primarily off-white with a blue-gray design. The design on the body features a floral pattern with leaves and stems. There are horizontal lines around the middle of the body and a row of small temples or pagodas along the bottom. The background of the image is a beige fabric or paper. The jar sits on a flat surface. The image appears to have been taken in a museum or gallery setting.
