Heating vessel
The image shows a green and gold-colored metal vessel with a long neck and head resembling a bird. The vessel has a wide, shallow bowl with a flat lip on one side and three curved legs. The legs are attached to the bowl and have a slight curve outward. A long, curved handle extends from the bowl, resembling a bird's neck and head. The handle ends in a bird-like head with a long beak. The entire piece appears to be made of bronze or copper and has a green patina with gold accents. The background is a gradient of gray, with the vessel casting a shadow on the surface below. The vessel is titled "Heating vessel" and is made by an unknown artist.
