Hanging Scroll Ceramic Worshiped as both a god

Worshiped as both a god of war and a protector of the people

the exterior built up with controlled layers

where practicality was balanced with a quiet sense of beauty

Their work is as distinctive as it is beautiful

This anchor may have been just one of a few used by a small fishing vessel to keep it in place
