Jug

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black and white photograph of a Jug by Wilhelm Karges. The jug has a wide, rounded body. The body is bulbous, curving inwards to form the base which is small and rounded. The jug has a short neck that curves inwards to form the mouth, which is roughly circular. The rim of the mouth is uneven. The jug appears to be made of clay and has a rough, textured surface with visible scratches and marks. The jug is dark in color with lighter patches. The background of the image is light grey.
