An octagonal jade vessel, mottled with dark and light green tones, features a vertical form wrapped in horizontal bands of shallowly carved geometric patterns. A dragon-shaped handle curves along the right, its head resting on the rim. The vessel tapers toward a flared, eight-sided base etched with vertical leaf-like motifs.
