The jar, by an unknown artist, displays a large, dark gray, ceramic vessel with a rounded body and narrow waist in the middle. A lid with a small metal handle sits on top of the jar. The surface shows signs of aging with spots of discoloration and wear. A small rectangular label at the bottom reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM". Background is light grey.
