Covered Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a covered jar by artist William Ramsay. The jar is ceramic with a rounded body that tapers in at the base and widens at the middle. Two horizontal lines encircle the jar above and below the widened middle section. The jar is decorated with a design of brown leaves on a cream background. A lid with a small knob on top completes the jar. The jar sits on a beige surface against a beige background.
