Vessel

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a gray ceramic vessel with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The vessel has two curved protrusions on either side, resembling handles or ears. It has a short neck and a body that is wider than the neck. The surface is textured and has a mottled appearance with darker and lighter shades of gray. There are small imperfections and marks on the surface, including a few small holes and a crack running across the middle. The vessel sits on a flat, light-colored surface, with a plain white wall behind it. The vessel is titled "Vessel".
