The decoration, divided by horizontal bands, consists of arabesques of intertwining dragon figures. Other decorative motifs, typical of this period, found on the vessel are bands of triangles and spirals, the mussel ornament and the plait line. The cover may be inverted and serve as a separate vessel.35mmslideb&wen-AUChinametalworkbronzebook scan2020-08-24This image is provided for research purposes only and must not be reproduced without the prior permission of the Archives Program, Australian National University.
