Vase from a Set Five-Piece Altar Set (Wugong)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a vase from a five-piece altar set called Wugong. The vase is made of metal and features a flared opening at the top that tapers down to a narrow neck before expanding into a bulbous middle section and then flaring out again at the base. The entire vase is intricately decorated with a black and white design. The design features floral patterns, swirling lines, and geometric shapes. A Greek key pattern adorns the middle section of the vase and the base. The background of the image is a plain gray color, with a subtle shadow cast by the vase on the right side.
