CLOSE-UP: A Rare Stoneware Jar (ca. 1750)

Get a close look at this stoneware jar from the 1750s, discovered near an African burial ground and covered with mysterious designs. Join curator Lauren Cross as she examines the jar, one of the earliest stoneware works in our collection.

Really enjoyed your presentation . I see human or animal anatomy like a heart, intestinal tract organs on the other side. Yes , an interesting juxtaposition of sunflowers with the less obvious on the two pottery sides of same vessel.
