From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record
Carved from ivory, this bottle was then etched with a rocky, mountainous scene scattered with trees and tiny temples. A river flows in the background. The artist seems to have mimicked the spontaneous style of ink landscapes, using brushstroke-like lines to render the leaves on the trees and the outlines of the mountains. China, Asia
