Vase (one of a pair)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Vase, one of a pair, by unknown artist. A black and white image of a ceramic vase with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The vase has a square base with curved sides and a flat top. The base of the vase features an ornate design with curved lines. A lattice pattern and a band of curved lines are on the body. The mouth of the vase flares out and features a scroll design along the rim. A band with four rectangular motifs encircles the mouth. Two oval medallions with a geometric motif flank a square medallion with a double cross-like motif on the body. Two curved shapes, possibly in the form of leaves, are on the body, flanking the medallions. The vase sits on a square base with curved feet. The base features a carved geometric scroll design on the side. The background is plain gray.
