Jar with floral pattern

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Jar with floral pattern by Unknown Artist. The jar is a rounded vessel with a narrow base that widens towards the middle and then curves inward to form a wide mouth. The jar has an intricate floral pattern covering its entire surface. The floral design consists of curved lines and shapes resembling leaves and flowers. The pattern runs in a band around the top and bottom of the jar and covers the middle section. The jar has a dark rim around the top edge. The background of the image is gray. The jar sits on a light surface and casts a faint shadow to the right.
