Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a green ceramic jar by artist Kwang-Yeul Lee titled "Jar". The jar has a rounded body with a narrow opening at the top. The jar's surface features a glossy, crackled teal-green glaze. The jar's base is not visible, as it sits on a surface. Reflections of light are visible on the jar's upper half. The jar casts a shadow on the surface below it. The background is a plain off-white color.
