Double vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Double vase, by an unknown artist. The sculpture is made of a reddish-orange stone and sits on a black base. The reddish-orange stone has a glossy finish. The stone is carved into a double vase shape. The vase on the left is smaller and sticks out further. The right vase is larger and curves to the right. The stone has white and translucent sections and some darker orange sections. The base is circular and made of a dark material, possibly stone or metal. It has a decorative edge with a series of small rectangles. The background is a plain gray color.
