Card Case

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular object with rounded corners, dark gray color, and a loop at the top. The object features an intricate design with a central figure wearing a robe and holding an object. The figure stands on a wavy line that looks like water, with curved lines possibly representing waves or a dragon below. A large dragon-like creature with an open mouth and sharp teeth appears behind the figure. Vertical lines on either side contain Chinese characters. The object sits on a flat surface against a plain background. Title: Card Case. Artist: Unknown.
