Molded from stoneware, it is covered with a rich three-color (Sancai) glaze in shades of green on the body, bordered by raised amber-colored bands. The upper handle, sculpted in the shape of an elongated dragon, is particularly striking. On both sides of the body, a galloping horse is depicted, bathed in amber glaze. Liao Dynasty (916–1125) or later.
