描述

finely carved and well hollowed in the form of a bronze bell, with slightly waisted sides and a gently flared mouthrim, decorated in low relief around the exterior with three bands of undulating archaistic motifs forming stylised taotie, between alternating pendent lappets of stiff leaves and ruyi encircling the waist and petal panels surrounding the apex, the latter surmounted by an arched finial formed of two addorsed dragons in openwork, crouching on their foreclaws while grasping a pearl in their mouth, the smoothly polished stone of pale celadon-white colour faintly mottled with icy inclusions and a pale brown patch
