National Gallery of Art

The image displays a wooden object resembling a carved vase with a tall, curved body and a flared top. The vase has a pattern of geometric and curved lines along its surface. It is a warm, natural wood brown with variations in shade due to the carving details. The vase is positioned centrally and slightly elevated above a faint suggestion of a surface or shadow at the base, contrasting with the light-colored, plain background.
