Waterpot with Ram's Head Spout
A pale celadon-white jade waterpot with a rounded body carved in shallow, archaic-style scrolls and spirals. A ram's head forms the spout at right, with curled horns and a small pierced nostril. The vessel rests on a lobed foot against a plain grey backdrop.
Look closer: Fine spiral carving covers the body, including scroll patterns near the foot.
