Ceramic vessel with double spouts joined by a bridge handle. Its rounded bottom converges to an almost flat top on which two tapered spouts sit, joined by a convex bridge handle.

The upper half of the vase has two supernatural figures with serpent-like figures emanating from their bodies vividly painted on a white background. Encircling the vase below these creatures is a series of human heads. The lower section of the vessel is undecorated. Condition; good; some surface abrasions.
