The container features rounded protrusions on either side and a small opening at the top, which has a short, narrow neck. The bottom half of the object has an irregular shape with raised areas. The object has a dark color with visible scratches and marks on its surface. The object is positioned on a flat surface, with a ruler or measuring scale placed in front of it. The background of the image is plain and light-colored. A small white label in the bottom-right corner bears the text "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART".
