A bronze vessel features a squat, rounded body and a wide neck with a flaring rim. Thick, mottled turquoise and seafoam green corrosion, interlaced with dark brown and tan spots, patterns the heavily textured, pitted surface. Two curved handles rise from the shoulder to the rim on our left and right. Sitting on a short, circular foot, the vessel's aged form shows a rough, weathered appearance from centuries of oxidation.
