Water Pot
The image is black and white. A ceramic pot with a lid is centered in the image. The pot is large and rounded, with a short base. The lid has a small handle at the top. The pot and lid are decorated with dark designs on a light background. The designs include abstract shapes and patterns. There are two bands of patterned designs around the middle of the pot, one with geometric patterns and the other with Arabic calligraphy. The bottom of the pot has spots of discoloration on the base. A small label on the bottom right reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM". The background is light gray.
