Vessel

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a ceramic vessel with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The vessel is primarily beige with red accents. It has a wide, flared mouth and a narrow neck that connects to a bulbous body. The body of the vessel is rounded and tapers slightly towards the base. There are several red lines and swirls painted on the vessel. The background of the image is gray, with a slight shadow cast by the vessel. The overall style of the vessel suggests it may be an ancient or antique piece. The title of the piece is "Vessel" by artist unknown.
