Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase by this artist is a deep reddish-brown color. It has a bulbous body that is wider in the middle and tapers to a narrow neck at the top. The vase appears to have a glossy finish. The base of the vase is not visible, but it appears to be on a flat surface. The background is white with a shadow cast by the vase.
