Jar Date Unknown

This anonymous, unglazed ceramic jar, crafted from clay, is a prime example of ancient pottery. The vessel boasts a rounded body with a flared rim, resting on a short, pedestal-like base. The earthy brown color is punctuated by a darker, smoky patina, suggesting use over time. Intricate incised lines form a decorative band around the middle of the jar, showcasing the skilled hand of the unknown artist. This piece, currently residing in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers a tangible glimpse into the artistry and practicality of ancient pottery traditions.
