The vase has an Oval bulbous body, a long thick cylindrical neck, and flared smooth lip. Viewed from multiple angles, the vase reveals a continuous, immersive scene teeming with wildlife and lush foliage.

One side features a regal lion, its mane rendered in warm ochres and russet tones, emerging from a thicket of stylized leaves.

Another view showcases a zebra and a giraffe, their elongated forms and patterned hides gracefully integrated into the dense greenery.

The final perspective reveals an elephant and a tiger, the former painted in soft grays, while the tiger’s orange and black stripes add a burst of intensity against the verdant backdrop.

The foliage enveloping the animals is intricately layered, with palm fronds, banana leaves, and other tropical flora painted in varying shades of green, from deep forest to bright chartreuse, interspersed with touches of yellow that lend warmth and depth.

The hand-painted technique gives the entire surface a tactile richness, with brushstrokes visible in the animals’ fur and the leaves’ veining. See less
