Ewer in the form of a Sheng Player

Cleveland Museum of Art

The ceramic ewer is in the form of a sheng player. The ewer has a cylindrical body with a rounded shoulder and a flared mouth. It features a beige-colored ceramic material with a light brown hue. The ewer is shaped like a person wearing a long robe with long sleeves, and their hands are raised in a prayer-like gesture. The person's face is serene with their eyes closed. They have a bun on top of their head. The ewer's body has vertical stripes on the lower portion and a floral design on the chest area. The background of the image is a gradient from dark to light gray.
