Long-necked jar with geometric decoration
Not on view
The densely packed abstract design on this jar was created by impressing stamps onto the clay body. The vessel’s decoration extends and amplifies the geometric patterns of earlier periods, as seen in the pottery from the fifth and sixth centuries on view nearby.
On view from August 6, 2022–October 15, 2023
