Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a vase. The vase has an wide opening at the top that tapers down to a narrow neck then expands into a bulbous body which tapers down to a narrow foot. The vase is decorated with illustrations of people in old-fashioned clothing. The illustrations appear on the inside of the opening, on the neck and on the body. The illustrations on the body are separated by a line of diamonds outlined with a rope. The illustrations depict people indoors and outdoors. The background of the image is gray. A small label on the display case reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM". The vase by "Jar", presumably created by an artist.
