Vessel

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a large, greenish-brown vessel with a wide mouth and two handles. The vessel is bulbous with a rounded body, wider at the top than the bottom. The interior and exterior surfaces are covered in a green and brown patina. The vessel has a wide mouth with a slightly everted rim. There are two horizontal grooves around the body, one near the rim and one around the middle. Two small, loop-shaped handles are on either side of the vessel, attached just below the middle groove. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The vessel casts a shadow on the surface below it. The image presents "Vessel" by artist unknown.
