Beaker with Ruyi Head Handles

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase has a wide, flat rim. The body of the vase flares out then tapers to a narrower base. Two handles are on either side. The handles are shaped like ruyi heads. A decorative carving of tendrils and berries encircles the vase on the bottom half. The vase sits on a low, dark wooden stand with curved legs. The vase and stand sit on a light-colored surface against a dark background.
