Covered vase
White jade sculpture on a black wooden base. The sculpture depicts a mythical creature with the body of a deer, a tail, and a horn-like protrusion on its head. The creature has a smooth, shiny surface and appears to be carved from a single piece of jade. It has a large, curved horn protruding from its forehead. The creature's body is rendered in intricate detail, including textured fur and a flowing tail. The base is carved with a design of interlocking branches or vines. The base has three small feet. The background is plain and light-colored. The artist is unknown, but titled "Covered vase".
