Lamp Stand with Coiling Dragons and Lotus Design
A green-glazed earthenware lamp stand with a lotus-petal cup holding a socket, supported by a dragon coiled around a pedestal and gripping the base with its claws. Its amber-glazed dish base shows the sancai technique.
Look closer: Small dragon head with horns and open jaws rests at the upper part of the coiled body, facing right.
