Excavated in 1948 from the Feng family tombs in Jingxian County of Hebei Province, the vase features a delicate shape as well as various vivid lotus carvings. As we all know, a lotus is the Buddhist symbol for purity which, in the case of this vase, guides the spirit of the deceased. The unique design is excellent for studying the ceramic production of the Northern Dynasties period.
