Oil Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of an ancient-looking pottery vessel titled "Oil Bottle". The vessel is bulbous with a narrow neck and small handles on either side. The body of the vessel is roughly spherical with a flat base. The vessel has a dark color with lighter areas, possibly from wear and tear. It features horizontal lines around the top portion. The background of the image is light gray. A small white rectangle at the bottom reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART".
