Amphora with dragon-shaped handles
The image depicts an amphora. The amphora is white with a beige base color. The body of the amphora is bulbous and rounded; it tapers in at the bottom. The amphora has a short neck with a small opening at the top; the handles are dragon-shaped. The handles are attached on either side of the amphora near the top; they are curved and ornate with scroll-like designs on top. The amphora has a decorative design around the bottom of the neck. The background of the image is dark gray and transitions to light gray at the bottom; there is a shadow cast by the amphora on the right side. The amphora is likely the work of an artist from the Joseon Dynasty; the title is "Amphora with dragon-shaped handles".
