Water Pot

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a cylindrical object labeled 'Water Pot' by an artist. The object is made of a dark material, likely ceramic or stone, with a rough texture and visible signs of wear and tear. It has a wide mouth and a narrow base, with a series of horizontal ridges around its body. The object features three decorative bands around its middle and lower sections, each consisting of a repeating pattern of wavy lines. The background of the image is plain gray, and there is a ruler or measuring scale at the bottom with text that reads 'THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART'.
