Of flattened form, finely carved in imitation of an archaic bronze gu-shaped vase with a lozenge-shaped cross-section, the bulbous mid-section carved with archaistic taotie masks below the flaring neck carved in high relief with a pair of slender chilong, one ascending, the other descending, in mutual pursuit of a large 'flaming pearl' placed between them, their bifurcated tails extending to the back of the vase, all standing on a short stepped splayed base, the semi-translucent stone of an exceptionally even white tone
