White nephrite Mughal-style wine vessel in the spar of a lotus-flower, terminating in a ram's head.
Lobbed floral boom with delicate rounded walls rising steeply from the foot, one side elegantly tapering into an openwork handle modelled in the form of a ram's head turned to one side, the beast sensitively rendered with a serene expression, a slightly open mouth and a beard conjoined to the exterior of the vessel, the head itself accentuate by a pair of precisely striated curved horns.
