Wine Jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Wine Jar by unknown artist is a dark brown, bulbous vessel with a short neck and a small handle on the right side. The jar has a wide body that tapers slightly towards the top, with a narrow opening. It sits on a short, thick base. The surface of the jar is textured and appears to have a rough, aged appearance. The background is a gradient of gray, transitioning from light to dark. The jar casts a shadow on the surface below it.
