The Vase by an unknown artist depicts a grey, carved jade vase. Two fish are carved on the vase, their tails curved around to meet at the bottom. The fish have scales carved on their bodies. They have their mouths open. The one on the right appears to have a band around its neck. A small branch with leaves and fruit or flowers is carved between the fish. The background of the image is light grey. A ruler is placed at the bottom of the image. The text "The Metropolitan Museum of Art" is printed on a small white rectangle at the bottom.
