Cricket pot

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Round, dark-colored cricket pot by artist unknown. The cricket pot has a cylindrical body covered in fabric and a circular lid. The lid is made of a dark material, possibly wood or metal, and features an intricate design carved into its surface. The design on the lid appears to be a floral pattern. The body of the pot is wrapped in a dark-colored fabric, possibly burlap or mesh, with visible horizontal seams. The fabric appears to be slightly frayed and worn. A small scale is visible at the bottom of the image. The background is plain and light-colored.
