Pot with two handles

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a ceramic pot with two handles, titled "Pot with two handles". The pot is rounded and made of dark brown ceramic material. The pot has two small handles on either side. The handles are circular and protrude from the top of the pot. The pot has a wide mouth and a narrow base. The base of the pot appears to be unglazed and is a lighter brown color. The rest of the pot has a darker brown glaze. The glaze appears to be uneven and has a textured, bumpy surface. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The pot casts a shadow on the surface below it. The artist of the pot is not visually identifiable in the image.
