Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Vase by an unknown artist is a gray, carved piece with a wide mouth that tapers down to a narrower base. A rounded handle-like piece protrudes from one side and curls around to the base. A carving of a dragon's head protrudes from the top back side. The carving sits on a small, dark-colored stand with a wide base and four short legs. The base has a decorative edge. The background is light grey.
