Amphora with dragon-shaped handles
The Amphora with dragon-shaped handles by Unknown is a light-colored ceramic vessel with a bulbous body that tapers towards the top and bottom. The body is widest in the middle and curves inward towards the top and bottom. A narrow neck leads to a small opening. Two handles are attached to either side of the neck. The handles are shaped like dragons with curled tails that meet at the top of the neck, where they are adorned with a leaf-like design. The handles have a series of small bumps along their length. The amphora has a light beige color with darker shading towards the bottom. The background is a solid gray color.
