Li, Hollow-Legged Tripod
A dark gray earthenware li, a tripod vessel with a wide flaring rim and a tall, slightly swelling body. Three hollow legs taper to points at the base, and faint scratches and polish marks mark the smooth surface against a plain gray backdrop.
Look closer: Faint scratch and wear marks cross the upper body near the rim.
