Covered vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a covered vase by an unknown artist, titled "Covered vase". The vase has a rounded base and short stem. The body of the vase is wider at the base than top and features an embossed design. The design on the body appears to feature leaves and possibly a bird or other creature. The vase narrows and has a band of pattern around the middle. There are six protruding rings around the vase, three on each side, possibly handles. The top of the vase features a design with two protruding curved handles. The colour of the vase is a pale greenish-grey, like jade. The image is in black and white. The background is dark with a light source from one side.
