Covered Jar (lid)
A circular lid glazed in deep blue-green, with a raised central knob and concentric rings toward the center. The outer rim shows worn, pale earthenware where the glaze has flaked away, and the glaze is mottled with lighter patches. Photographed against a plain gray backdrop.
Look closer: A small chip breaks the outer rim at the lower left, where the earthenware shows through.
