Globular Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Globular Jar by Isamu Noguchi, features a light-colored, possibly ceramic or stone, pot with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The jar has a bulbous body with a rounded shoulder and a short neck. A decorative band encircles the upper part of the jar, featuring wavy line patterns. The surface of the jar appears rough and textured, with visible imperfections and small holes. The background is dark, with a light source coming from the left side, casting a shadow to the right. The jar sits on a flat surface, with a subtle gradient of light to dark in the background.
