Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black jar, bulbous body rounded at the bottom. The jar is symmetrical. The short neck is narrow and rounded at the top. The lid is not visible. The jar's surface is glossy with a cracked glaze effect. The background is a plain gray wall behind a white surface, with the jar casting a shadow to the left. The artist of the Jar is not visually identifiable from the image; however, based on visual similarity with other artworks, it is by Shimaoka Tatsuzo.
