Small Jar (Guan)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gray ceramic jar with two handles, one on each side. The jar has a wide body that tapers to a narrower opening at the top. Dark gray geometric designs on the body include lines forming diamond shapes and chevrons. A band of short vertical lines and geometric patterns encircles the upper portion. The jar appears old and weathered with visible signs of wear. Title: Small Jar (Guan). Artist: Unknown.
