A light reddish-buff earthenware <em>guan (</em>罐) jar with a wide globular upper body and conical lower body on a flat base, and a tall narrow neck with an everted rim. There are two diametrically opposed lug handles at the waist. The upper half of the body is painted with black and red pigments to depict four whirls of concentric circles. Each contains a roundel made of joined circles, which also create a cross through the center. The four circular motifs are confined between solid band borders, with a garland border below. Around the neck are bold thick black chevrons.

A light reddish-buff earthenware <em>guan (</em>罐) jar with a wide globular upper body and conical lower body on a narrow flat base, and a tall narrow neck with everted rim. There are two diametrically opposed lug handles at the waist. The upper half of the body is painted with black and red pigments to depict two concentric circles on opposing sides. The circles contain network patterns, separating two main motifs of zigzags divided by a central vertical line. Six or seven thin lines extend from each of the points, confined between solid band borders, with a lobed line border below. Around the neck are bold, thick, black, slightly curving brush strokes.
