The vessel has a bulbous, rounded body tapering towards a narrow neck and a wider rim. Its surface is adorned with intricate geometric patterns and repetitive motifs, including key patterns, spirals, and possibly stylized animal forms. The bronze has developed a greenish patina over time, indicative of its age and oxidation process.

The vessel’s overall appearance is both artistic and functional, reflecting the craftsmanship and aesthetic values of ancient Chinese culture.
