Bowl with Loop Handles

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bowl is a vibrant green color with a glossy finish. The body of the bowl is rounded and relatively shallow with a wide mouth. A ring handle is on the bottom center of the exterior. Two loop handles protrude from the left and right sides, each formed from the body of a mythical creature with its head on one end and its tail on the other. The bowl has three feet. The background transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
