Vessel in shape of a crouching tiger
Ceramic vessel in the shape of a crouching tiger, by artist unknown. The vessel is a light gray-green color with a rough texture. It has a large opening at one end, resembling a mouth, and a handle on top. The vessel is shaped like a tiger crouched down on its haunches, with its head tilted back and mouth open. The tiger's body is depicted in a dynamic pose, with its legs tucked under its body and its tail curled around to form a handle. The background of the image is a gradient of dark gray to light gray.
