Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Vase by an unknown artist is a white object. It has a wide mouth with a flared rim and a narrow base. The body of the object is divided into two sections. The top section is wider and has a smooth, glossy finish with vertical ridges. The lower section is narrower with vertical ridges and six rounded protrusions. The base of the object is small and flat with a short pedestal. The background is dark, with a light source coming from the left side. The object casts a shadow on the surface it is sitting on.
