Wine Pot

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Wine Pot by unknown artist shows a black and white photo of an ornate metal jug with a lid. The jug has a bulbous body with a narrow neck and a handle that curves upwards to form a long, curved spout in the shape of a swan's head. The jug and lid are decorated with intricate designs and patterns, including floral motifs. The lid is domed with a small knob on top. The jug sits on a flat surface against a plain background.
