Covered ceramic jug

Qingbai white-glazed ceramic covered jug inspired by Tibetan jugs. Applied bands imitating tie strings suggest that this ceramic form is a copy of a prototype jug, possibly originally made of leather or wood, with the lid decorated with incised petal motifs. Metal chain linking the lid to the jug, possibly added later.
