Deep Vessel with Handles

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a gray ceramic vessel with two handles, titled "Deep Vessel with Handles". The vessel has a wide mouth and a narrow base. The body of the vessel is primarily dark gray with visible texture and some lighter gray areas. Two handles protrude from either side of the mouth, each featuring a circular hole at the end. The handles are positioned at the top of the vessel and are curled into a spiral shape. The mouth of the vessel has a decorative border etched into it. Below the border, there are etched designs on the upper part of the vessel's body, including spirals and straight lines. A vertical etched design runs down the center of the vessel's body. The background of the image is light grey.
