Food serving vessel (dui)
The Food serving vessel (dui) is a rounded, bronze-colored container with a lid. The vessel has a wide, spherical body and a smaller, domed lid. The body and lid are both decorated with intricate, swirling patterns that are primarily gold in color, though the overall surface is predominantly dark with green patina visible in places. There are two small handles on either side of the body, each featuring a loop and a decorative tassel-like element that appears to be made of a green material. The lid has three small, raised knobs on top. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
