Water jar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a gray, cylindrical object, titled "Water jar", by an unknown artist. The object appears to be made of stone or clay and has a rough texture. It is rounded at the bottom and has a flat top with a small lip around the edge. A horizontal groove encircles the top. The surface features visible imperfections and possible signs of aging. A dark vertical line runs down the front, and a triangular shape above. A shadow is cast to the right. The background is a plain gray surface with a darker gradient at the top.
