Green glazed red brown terracotta pot perhaps an funerary urn.There must have been a conical lid that was lost.The pot is probably decorated in molds with scenes of mythological animals, dragons, tigers, chilong. Three small bear-shaped feet support the whole. The body is in pinkish-brown terracotta covered with a thick lead-green glaze which has run down in places in drops, mainly on the upper edge where they can be seen curiously rising, which is normal because these ceramics were fired upside down, head down. Han period (-200 to +200).
Damaged, old major restoration on the edge, visible on photos. Diameter: 20 cm Height: 14 cm.
