Jar with cover

Kiyomizu Rokubei I

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a ceramic jar with a cover. The jar is white with a wide mouth and a small, rounded knob on top of the lid. The jar has a leaf pattern painted in black. The leaves are various shapes and sizes. There are thin black lines crisscrossing the jar, intersecting with the leaves. The jar appears to be sitting on a flat surface, and there are two small rulers in front of it for scale. A small white label is placed in front of the jar. The background is a plain light gray color.
