Pair of Han Duck Vessels

About the Item

These beautiful duck vessels were completely painted at one time, and probably had no utilitarian use. The holes at the top are stoppers for lids. Ducks are fertility symbols, and it's considered good luck to find them in pairs, Han dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). TL test available upon request.
