Golden Green Metal Cloisonné Lion Flower Enamel Round Box Jar GB291S Ginger Jar mythic features of the guardianThis exquisite Chinese cloisonn ginger jar rests upon a carved dark wood stand, showcasing a masterful blend of metalwork and enamel. The vessel features a globular body that tapers into a short neck, topped with a domed lid crowned by a gilded Shishi (Guardian Lion) finial. Its surface is a dense tapestry of jingtai lan artistry, where intricate brass wires create "cloisons" filled with vibrant pigments of jade green, cobalt blue, and soft lavender.
