The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two gray vases, Pair of Vases by unknown artist. The vases are bulbous with a wide body that tapers to a small circular opening at the top. The vases are placed side by side on a white surface, with a white background behind them. The vases are made of a textured material, possibly clay or stone, and have a rough, uneven surface. The surface of the vases is darker at the top and gets gradually lighter towards the bottom. The vases are symmetrical and identical in shape and size. The openings of the vases are circular and have a small lip around the edge. The background is a plain white surface with shadows cast by the vases.
