Water bottle (Kundika)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Water bottle (Kundika) by an unknown artist is dark gray with a patina. The object has a bulbous base, rounded body, and narrow cylindrical neck. A spout extends from the left side of the body, curving upwards and ending in a small circular opening. A long, thin, tapered spout rises from the top of the neck. The surface shows signs of wear and aging, with spots of lighter gray and green. The background is solid dark grey with a lighter grey shadow beneath the object.
