This bright grayish-blue stoneware jar consists of a round base, globular body and long flaring neck. Narrow single ridges encircle the middle part of the neck, dividing it into four sections. Each section is engraved with a wave pattern. The shoulder doesn&rsquo;t have any pattern.<br /> <br /> This is a blue-gray, long-necked, high-fired stoneware jar. The horizontal ridge on the upper part of the long vessel neck marks the boundary between the neck and its inwardly curved mouth. The mouth slopes inward and has a sharp edge. The neck is divided into four sections by three horizontal ridges spaced at equal intervals, and each section is decorated by a wave design rendered with a comb with approximately ten teeth. The jar is widest at its upper-middle part, and the base is round with a slightly recessed center.<br /> [Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art (2017) p. 47]<br /> &nbsp;

This hanging scroll depicts what appears to be a large waterfall hidden by rock outcroppings. Towards the bottom left are pine trees growing on a rock. The water that the waterfall enters is rough and painted with a lot of movement. Just opposite of the pine tree is what appears to be the artist&#39;s signature written in black, quickly followed by an inscription in red. The scroll is framed by a blue and gold silk cloth with a floral inscription. There is a short stripe of a lighter blue-colored cloth with a different floral pattern on the top. The painting has splashes of color in the water, making it blue, and in the trees, making them green.&nbsp;
