Jar (Guan)

The Jar (Guan) by the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a ceramic vessel with a brown base color and darker brown designs. The jar has a wide body that tapers down to a narrower base, with a short neck and a small mouth. Two small handles are on either side of the body. The designs on the jar include geometric patterns and a circular motif with four teardrop shapes inside. The background of the image is gray, with a shadow cast by the jar.
