Small Vessel with Globular Body

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Small Vessel with Globular Body by Unknown. The vessel has a wide, flared base that tapers to a narrow middle section, then flares out to a rounded, globular body. The top section is narrower, with a short, circular opening at the top. The entire vessel appears to be made of clay and has a rough, textured surface. The color is primarily brown with white and gray patches, possibly from age or mineral deposits. The background of the image is black.
