Food Container (Gui)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Food Container (Gui) by an unknown artist is a greenish metal artifact. The artifact has a square base with a patterned design. The base supports a rounded body with a geometric pattern. Two curved handles protrude from the body, each shaped like a mythical creature's head with an open mouth and curled tail. The handles are positioned on either side of the body. The top of the artifact features a flared, flat section with curved supports. The entire artifact has a weathered appearance with green and blue-green patina. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
