Top view of a carved wooden bowl-shaped vessel with lion-head handles, pierced sides and a crack across its interior base.

Tripod with Cover

Seen from above, a round carved wooden vessel with a wide rim and a deep interior with a visible crack running across the base. The sides are densely carved with geometric patterns and pierced with small openings, and two lion-head handles project at the left and right. Short feet protrude from the lower edge.

Look closer: Small carved feet project from the lower edge of the vessel.
