Description: | Water jug made of gilt copper, in the form of a double-gourd with a straight, long neck. It stands on a straight foot. A long curved spout rises from the lower body and attached to the upper body with a curling dragon strut. An S-shaped handle comes out of a dragon's mouth from the upper body, curves downward and is soldered to the lower body, then upcurves again to a ruyi-head end. Both the waist and lid are engraved with bands of lotus scrolls. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Rights holder: | Horniman Museum and Gardens | Subjects: | water jugs (jugs (food service)) Minority Groups copper Food gilding copper alloy | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-222847 | Go to resource |
