Artist, American, 1918 - 1986

This image depicts a tan-colored ceramic jar with horizontal black stripes and an inscription reading "ZOOAR." The jar rests on a neutral background and is accompanied by a hand-drawn label showing the sequence "1•8•3•G." The style appears reminiscent of classic ceramic illustration, possibly influenced by archeological artifact documentation.
