A carved ivory cylindrical vase features deep relief carvings of figures on horseback and standing among gnarled trees and clouds. Two scaly dragon figures with open mouths form handles on the sides. A decorative band encircles the rim at the top, while the bottom rests on a smooth circular base. The cream-colored material shows fine grain and small cracks across the detailed surface.
