Jar with grapevine decoration

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The jar is white with a wide, rounded body that tapers slightly at the top and bottom. The jar has a small opening at the top. A red grapevine decoration encircles the jar, featuring a central flower-like motif with rounded lobes and curved stems that extend upwards and downwards. The jar has small dark spots and a glossy finish. The background is gray, transitioning from light to dark, with the jar casting a shadow to the right.
