Jar with Leaf Decoration

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a ceramic jar titled "Jar with Leaf Decoration" by an unknown artist. The jar has two handles on either side and a wide mouth. The jar is primarily off-white with a brown leaf pattern around it. The leaves are depicted in a simple, linear style with multiple small oval-shaped leaves branching off a central stem. The jar has a small foot at the bottom and a scalloped edge around the top. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The jar casts a shadow on the surface below it. The surface is flat and light gray.
