Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a ceramic vessel titled "Jar" by an unknown artist. The vessel has a wide mouth and a rounded body that bulges outward slightly below the middle, then tapers inward to the base. The vessel's surface features a textured pattern. The upper portion of the vessel has a darker coloration with a hatched-line pattern forming chevron shapes. The lower portion of the vessel is lighter with a cross-hatched pattern covering it. The vessel sits on a flat surface, with a shadow cast to the left. The background behind the vessel is white.
