The image shows a black and white photograph of a jar with a cover. The jar is cylindrical with a flat circular lid on top. The jar and lid are made of dark-colored ceramic or stone. There are raised vertical lines on either side of the jar resembling bamboo. There are two horizontal grooves around the lower portion of the jar. A circular design is visible on the body of the jar. The background of the image is light gray. The jar appears to be by artist Bernard Leach, titled "Jar with cover".
