A lead-glazed earthenware vessel features a bulbous body tapering into a tall neck and flared pedestal foot. A mottled green patina coats the weathered surface. Three raised bands encircle the midsection, while small animal masks project from the shoulders. A domed lid with a jagged peak caps the mouth. Fine chips interrupt the glaze, and horizontal ridges streak across the flared neck and base.
