Lime Container with Figural Handles

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Greenish metal container with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The container has a rope-like design around the top edge. Two handles protrude from the sides, each featuring a humanoid figure with a head at the top. The figures have their arms extended outward and downward, and their heads face away from the container. The container sits on a flat surface, casting a shadow. The background is a plain beige color. The title of the work is "Lime Container with Figural Handles".
