Verified profile

The vase was turned on a lathe, then decorated with applied elements and individually shaped all-round figurines. The whole was finally covered with a fairly uniform display case that stops a few centimeters above the base. Over the shoulder, the vase is surrounded by an inverted collar that supports a large group of characters, including four Buddhas and animal figures. The second level of all-round decorations, in the lower part of the fake lid, is characterized by four jars surrounded by a multitude of fluttering birds. The top is characterized by a model of an architectural complex. The complex iconography of these symbolic vessels reveals the syncretism that seems to have permeated the funeral ritual of the Lower Yangzi region in the third century. Buddhist images are associated with the traditional iconography of good wishes, intended to protect the soul of the deceased.
