Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a tall, narrow vase titled "Jar" by an unnamed artist. The vase is beige with a glossy finish and has a narrow opening at the top. A small black rim is around the top opening. The body of the vase is bulbous in the middle and tapers down to a narrow base. The base is slightly wider than the top opening. A small red marking is on the front near the bottom. The background is a gray wall. A shadow is cast to the left of the vase.
