Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The title is "Jar" and the artist is unknown. The image is a black and white photograph of a rounded vase or jar. The jar has a wide body that tapers up to a narrow mouth. It is made of clay and has a rough texture with many cracks on its surface. There are darker spots and lines on the jar, possibly from wear or uneven firing. Two small oval holes are visible on the front, one above the other. The background is a plain gray color, and the jar sits on a lighter gray surface.
