Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Vase by an unknown artist features a large, ornate vase with a wide base that tapers to a narrow neck and flares out at the top. The vase has a blue-green background with intricate designs and patterns in shades of gold, red, white, and green. The body of the vase is decorated with floral motifs and foliage. Two ornate gold handles are attached to either side of the vase, each featuring a curved, scroll-like design. The vase has a short, circular foot with a gold rim. The background of the image is a light gray color.
