Jug, vessel tapering towards the bottom, Tibetan, 18th–19th century, ceramic vessel, height 46.3 cm; features meander ornament, symbolic motifs, Buddhist art, vases., A tall, narrow vessel with a long cylindrical neck and a wider, tapered body sits against a plain light gray background. The surface of the object appears textured and metallic with visible wear and a patina of dark brown and rust tones, along with areas of darker gray. The neck has a few raised bands and rectangular applied elements, while the shoulder and body display repeated raised geometric motifs and rectangular panels in the same dark brown and gray palette. The top rim is slightly flared and shows the same worn metallic coloration, and the base sits on a reflective surface that picks up faint gray reflections.
