The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a ceramic vessel titled "Small Jar (Guan)" by an unknown artist. The vessel is a rounded, two-handled jar with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The majority of the vessel is dark gray with faded red geometric designs and lines. The lower portion of the vessel transitions to a light brown color. The interior of the vessel is light brown with a red geometric design. The vessel appears to be old and weathered. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
