Large Earthen Jar

Clyde L. Cheney

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large brown earthenware jar with two small handles on either side. It has a tall, rounded shape and a weathered appearance with lighter coloration and texture towards the bottom. The color palette consists of rich, earthy browns, with patches of lighter hues near the base. The jar stands upright with a shiny glaze reflecting light, against a plain, off-white background.
