Long-Necked Jar (Chōkeiko)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Long-Necked Jar (Chōkeiko) by an unknown artist features a rounded body with a predominantly green and beige color scheme. The body of the jar has a bulbous shape with visible cracks and imperfections. A long, narrow neck rises from the body, flaring out at the top to form a circular mouth. The jar's surface exhibits a rough texture. The background of the image is a plain gray color, transitioning to white at the bottom. A shadow is cast to the left of the jar. The jar is centered in the image.
