Covered Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Covered Vase by Met Museum, a black and white photograph, shows a large, gray vase with a lid. The vase has a wide base that tapers to a narrow neck and then flares out slightly at the top. It has two handles on either side, each featuring a dragon's head at the top and a dragon's body curled around. The lid is decorated with two small, animal-like figures. A ruler or measuring device is placed in front of the vase. The background is a plain wall.
