Ginger Jar with Phoenix and Dragon (base)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a round vase with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The vase is primarily black with a gold rim around the opening. The main body of the vase features a dragon design on one side, rendered in shades of green, blue, and orange. Surrounding the dragon are intricate floral patterns and other designs in orange, blue, white, and gold. The base of the vase is gold-colored. The background of the image is dark gray, with the vase casting a shadow. A second creature, a phoenix, likely appears on the opposite side.
