The image depicts a fragment of a Chinese Song dynasty celadon vessel, specifically a ceramic shard. The shard is made of stoneware and has a green-gray glaze that is characteristic of Longquan kilns during the Southern Song (1127–1279) to Yuan (1279–1368) dynasty. The shard shows a heavily crackled surface, revealing a network of fine lines, which is a result of the high iron content glaze that forms a glassy surface. The fragment features a round protrusion, which is likely a remnant of a handle or a decorative feature from the original ceramic piece. The glaze has an uneven distribution, further highlighting its age and craftsmanship. The overall shape is irregular, as it is a piece of a once larger object.
