A lion finial crowns the stepped lid of this dark green jade vase. Dragon-shaped handles frame the neck, and symmetrical animal-mask ornament fills the body. The front and side views reveal the depth of the handle carving and the raised decoration. Although catalogued as green jade, the vessel appears very dark under these lighting conditions. Support its 1,846.6 g body from below when moving it.
