Decorated with two writhing dragons The large guan-shaped jar is decorated with a broad band of dense lotus scroll around the shoulder which is separated from the main decoration by two plain thin lines; the body is decorated with two vigorously writhing dragons, separated by two stylized, serpentine shou characters, and surrounded by cloud scrolls, above an abstracted mountain landscape; around the foot, a wide band of confronted C-scrolls and trefoil motifs. The low footrim is wide, the unglazed base slightly concave; the body swells gradually outward from the foot; the shoulders are broad and rounded, the neck low, and the rim rolled.
