It is supported by four short feet in the shape of bamboo stalks, and on the sides there are two vertical cylindrical handles. It retains its original even, brown petina overall. On the exterior and interior, there appears to be an old coating of black lacquer with considerable areas of verdigris showing through. Well-cast and in good condition.
