Grey Tripod Granary Jar, Han dynasty

About the Item

The vessel consists of a rounded cylindrical body, a gently curved upper section, and a small circular opening, suggesting that it was used for storing grain or valuable goods. Three parallel decorative bands encircle the body, creating a simple yet well-balanced design. The base is supported by three short and sturdy legs (tripod), each adorned with mythical motifs. The surface exhibits a natural grayish-black texture, with oxidation marks and discoloration, indicating prolonged burial over time.
