Gourd-Shaped Vase
A double-gourd vase carved from pale yellowish-green jade with brown inclusions, shown against a grey backdrop. Shallow carved cloud scrolls ring both bulbs, and a domed lid is topped by a small crouching animal. Two openwork handles rise at the shoulder, and a short foot supports the vase.
Look closer: Small carved animal crouching on top of the lid, partly hidden by the cloud motif.
