Ewer with Elephant-Headed Spout
The Ewer with Elephant-Headed Spout by an unknown artist depicts a bronze ewer with a predominantly green patina and red undertones. The ewer has a bulbous body with a wide base that tapers slightly at the bottom. A horizontal line encircles the middle of the body. The spout is long and curved, resembling an elephant's trunk and emerges from an elephant's head. The ewer has a handle at the top. The lid features two small protrusions on either side and a circular handle. The background is a gradient of dark gray to light gray.
