Pilgrim bottle vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Pilgrim bottle vase by artist is a yellowish-green ceramic vase. The vase has a bulbous body with a short foot and a narrow neck. Two handles protrude from either side of the neck. The handles are loop-shaped and resemble animal heads. The vase appears to be made of ceramic material with a rough texture and small dark specks throughout. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The object casts a shadow on the surface below it. The overall shape of the vase is symmetrical.
