Description
A Silver Wire Inlaid Bronze Vase
石叟款銅嵌銀絲輔首耳象腿瓶
the columnar vessel rising from a straight foot, flanked at the shoulders with mythical beast head mask handles, and narrowing above a recessed band to a waisted neck and everted mouth rim. The exterior inlaid with a dense network of silver wires showing dragons writhing through long vaporous clouds swirls above turbulent crashing waves.
