Ewer with a Lion-shaped Spout
A pale green glazed ewer with a tall flared neck, a looping handle, and a small crouching lion modeled on the shoulder. Carved and incised lotus petals wrap the rounded body and shoulder under a fine crackled glaze.
Look closer: A small crouching lion is modeled on the left shoulder beside the neck.
