A dark bronze kettle, aged with greenish corrosion, features a squat body resting on three winged-figure legs. To the left, a bird-headed spout with a hooked beak juts upward, topped by a small animal. Two intertwined, snake-like creatures form an arched handle over the opening. Horizontal bands of interlocking squares and curled lines decorate the vessel, while intricate feathered and scroll-like patterns detail the spout and legs.
