This celadon ewer, made at the Yuezhou kiln during the late Wu Dynasty of China, exhibits delicately incised designs over its entire surface. Its body is divided into hexagonal spaces; on the left side of the spout can be seen a man playing a traditional Korean stringed instrument, while on the right side is one man playing a drum and another playing a flute. A dancing figure is depicted below the spout.
