Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The ceramic vessel, titled "Jar" by an unknown artist, is a rounded, bulbous container with a short, narrow neck and a wide mouth. The vessel's body is predominantly off-white with brown speckles scattered across its surface. A darker brown discoloration is visible on the inner rim of the mouth and on a portion of the exterior. The object casts a shadow on the surface below it, set against a gray background that transitions from a darker shade at the top to a lighter shade towards the bottom.
