The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Jar (Zun) is a bronze vessel with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The object has a dark brown color with a slight sheen, and it appears to be made of metal. It has a flared rim at the top. The body of the jar is cylindrical with a slight narrowing towards the base, and it features multiple horizontal ridges around its body. Some of the ridges have vertical lines etched into them. The background of the image is dark gray, with a lighter gray surface that the jar sits on. A shadow is cast to the right of the jar.
