 This is a Buddhist vase of the most common form, with a strong outer fold at the orifice. It is made of a yellowish-white base and water-ground. The slightly undulating body is stamped with a plum blossom arabesque design in two places in the front and back using the inka technique. The iron glaze is blackish-brown with reddish tints and is applied evenly over the entire surface. The lower half of the body is more blackish.
