Tripod Vessel (Gui)
The Tripod Vessel (Gui) by unknown artist shows a ceramic vessel with a beige color and a rough texture. The vessel has a distinctive shape with a wide, flared mouth that tapers to a narrower neck. A handle protrudes from the side of the neck. The body of the vessel is bulbous and sits on three pointed legs. A decorative rope-like design encircles the middle of the body. The background is a dark gray color, with the vessel casting a shadow on the surface below.
