A gilt-silver and enamel vessel shaped like a longboat features a curved neck rising to a dragon head at our right and a leaf-like curl at our left. Scrolling floral patterns in green, red, blue, and white enamel, outlined by fine silver wires, decorate the body. Small circular shields with flower designs line the rim above a short, dark green base.
