Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a brown ceramic jar with a wide mouth and a black interior. The jar is bulbous in shape, with a short neck and a small lip around the top edge. A small loop handle protrudes from the center of the black interior. The exterior surface of the jar is rough and textured, with a mottled brown color that appears to be a combination of light and dark brown hues. The jar "Jar" by artist Leach is on a gray surface, and there is part of another brown object visible to the right.
