Vase with Animals and Mythical Creatures

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a vase with a flat, faceted body. The vase body has six flat sides and each side has a different design. The designs are a jumbled mix of real and imaginary creatures; some sides have more than one design. On one side is what looks like a dog or other mammal sitting on a rock. On another side is what looks like a dragon. On another side is an elephant or other large mammal with long tusks. The neck of the vase is cylindrical and made with a decorative pattern around it. The opening of the vase is flared. The background of the image is a light gray wall and a light grey surface.
