Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a Jar by Isamu Noguchi. The jar is white and made of ceramic. It has a wide, rounded body with a narrow lip at the top. The body of the jar is bulbous, curving outward, then curving back inward to form the lip. The base of the jar is flat and small. The background is dark gray, with the jar casting a slight shadow. The jar appears to be unadorned. The image is in black and white. The jar is centered in the image.
