A standing rhinoceros forms the body of this lidded jade vessel. Its horn, four legs and rounded flanks remain clearly readable beneath dense scrolling ornament, and a small animal serves as the lid finial. The three views show both sides and the direction of the head. Listed at 2,848 g, the vessel needs an even display surface that supports all four feet.
