Covered vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Clear glass vase with a flat square base. The body of the vase is rectangular with a wide shoulder that tapers to a narrow neck that opens to a mouth with a wavy rim. A lid with a rounded peak tops the vase. Two loops on either side of the vase are shaped like mythical creatures. The entire surface of the vase and lid are carved with curving lines and geometric shapes. The background is grey with a shadow cast by the vase.
