Covered Jar
A cylindrical earthenware vessel with a deep blue glaze and horizontal ribs encircling its body, standing on three small feet. The interior shows a warm yellowish glaze, and fine crackle is visible across the surface. The record identifies it as a covered jar from the early 700s, but the lid is not shown.
Look closer: Fine crackle pattern in the glaze and the yellow glaze visible inside the rim.
