Jar with Double Cover
The image features a large ceramic jar with an oval-shaped body. The body narrows towards the top and widens at the middle. A second, smaller lid sits on top of the main one, and both lids have a circular shape. Small parallel lines cover the body and both lids. A dark-colored gradient begins at the bottom half of the jar; it has a light surface with dark scratches. A shadow surrounds the base of the jar. The background is light-colored. 'The Metropolitan Museum' appears in small text at the bottom.
