The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Miniature vase by an unknown artist. The vase is made of white material, possibly stone or ceramic. The vase has a narrow base that widens slightly at the bottom and tapers to a narrow top. The vase has a short neck and a small lip around the top. A small animal figure, possibly a dog or wolf, is on top of the vase. The animal is standing on its hind legs, with its front paws raised. The animal's head is tilted upwards and its mouth is open. The background of the image is solid black. The image is in grayscale.
