This lidded decorative ginger jar features a richly colored, multi-panel design with a textured teal ground, cobalt blue accents, and deep magenta banding. The central motif presents a stylized basket of flowers rendered in raised gold detailing, with additional gold scrollwork and chain-style embellishments encircling the shoulder and lid.
