A gray-green bronze vessel that stands upright on a grey background. It has a round lid and a middle handle that curves upright over it. The handle edges face diagonally to the viewer’s right and back to the left. It is smaller at the top and curves wider at the bottom with a thick foot that goes straight down. The entire piece is inscribed with detailed, swirling designs, some inscriptions are wide swirls with many tiny spirals in between them. The sides perpendicular to the handle have a protruding thin, straight piece that goes along to the top and over the lid. The lid has two curving points that reach up and out and a raised, curved knob at the very top.
