Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a Jar by an unknown artist. The Jar is made of stone or clay and is gray in color. The Jar has a rounded body with three small feet at the bottom. The Jar has a wide mouth and a lid that is slightly smaller in diameter than the body. The lid is domed and has a decorative design on top. The body of the Jar has two horizontal lines around it, with a design in between. The design appears to be a raised pattern of animals, possibly dragons or other mythical creatures. The background of the image is a plain gray color. There is a small ruler or measuring device at the bottom of the image. A label on the bottom reads "The Metropolitan Museum of Art".
