Chicken-Headed Ewer
The image shows a ceramic ewer titled "Chicken-Headed Ewer" by an unknown artist. The ewer is a muted greenish-brown color with a glossy finish. The body of the ewer is bulbous, with a narrow neck and a small opening at the top. A handle protrudes from the right side of the neck. On the left side of the body, a small chicken head protrudes. The ewer has a small foot at the bottom. The background is a gradient of dark gray to light gray. The ewer casts a shadow on the surface below it. The ewer appears to have a small rectangular hole on the front. The opening of the ewer has a small orange or red rim.
