描述

carved in the form of an archaic vessel fangding, the slightly tapered rectangular body supported on four lion heads projecting cylindrical legs encircled by two raised double fillets, rising to a square-cut rim set with two arched handles pierced with angular scrolls and surmounted by 'flaming pearls', each side skilfully carved in shallow relief with a taotie mask and further centred with mythical beast handles, suspending a loose ring on the larger sides and a fixed ring on the smaller ends, within 'herringbone' corners, the domed cover with canted sides similarly carved with a taotie mask within 'herringbone' frames, rising sharply to a dragon finial, the fierce animal deftly carved in openwork standing foursquare writhing among swirling clouds and flames, the translucent stone of white lustrous tone picked out with a few icy streaks and finished to a smooth polish
