Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a jar by artist unknown titled "Jar". The jar is large and made of ceramic or clay. It has a narrow opening at the top, which is slightly flared outwards. The body of the jar is bulbous, tapering slightly towards the bottom. It sits on a flat surface, and the background is a plain wall. The jar appears to have some dark spots or marks on its surface. A small line of black text at the bottom reads "22.91.1".
