Green-Glazed Pot with A Loop Handle (Five Dynasties)

Unearthed in 1968 from Binxian County, Shaanxi Province. This pot is in the shape of a ball. The simulated lid and the body are inseparable. On the handle is a phoenix whose mouth is in the shape of a mother lion feeding her baby. In the central bottom there is a small flower-like hole which is the only way that water can be poured in. It is a rare treasure of the Yaozhou Kiln.
