Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black jar by artist Izumigama. The jar is black with a glossy finish and has a rounded body that is wider than its height. The jar has a small, narrow opening at the top with a light-colored rim. The jar's surface reflects light from above, and there are some minor scratches visible on its surface. The background of the image is a plain off-white color, with a subtle shadow cast by the jar.
