The jug or ewer is adorned with intricately carved masks and features the charming depiction of naked figures of boys pouring water. It is believed that this engraving might have been a blueprint for a ceramic or metalwork creation. The photograph originates from "The South Kensington Museum" a renowned book filled with engraved illustrations and detailed descriptions of the remarkable artworks housed in the Victoria & Albert Museum (formerly known as the South Kensington Museum) in London.
