Hanging vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Hanging vase by the artist features a predominantly dark amber-colored vase with a glossy finish. The vase has a rounded body. Two small handles protrude from the sides. It appears to have a carved design around its middle section. A small, matching lid with a crown-like structure on top sits to the left. The background is a plain gray color. The vase seems to have a Chinese design based on the carvings.
