Koro (lid)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Koro lid by the artist features a sculpture of two animals on top. The sculpture is made of dark green jade and depicts one animal on all fours with its head lowered as if it is about to bite the other animal. The second animal is on all fours with its head lowered. The base of the sculpture is round and has a decorative design with leaves and flowers carved into it. The base also features a Greek key pattern around the edge. The background of the image is black, which helps to highlight the details of the sculpture. The overall shape of the piece resembles a lid.
