Green lead glazed earthenware hu. With ellipsoidal belly, high pedestal base, long and tubular neck, and large mouth which projects over neck. The vessel is decorated with raised bands which mark the neck, shoulders, body, and pedestal base. A pair of mould made, monster mark escutcheons have dots within the ring handles. The mouth rim has spur and drip marks which indicate that the vessel was fired upside down. The flat base shows a fine terracotta biscuit. On the bottom is scratched the word sun (grandsons)
The gold and silver iridescence is the effect of long burial.
