This vase is a cultural relic from Xizang at the beginning of the 8th century AD. Its name is "gold-plated silver vase". The decoration of this vase is very delicate, mainly featuring Central Asian elements, including grape vines, beaded edges, and heart-shaped patterns. It is known that Sogdian craftsmen are skilled at using gold-plated foil to complement silver relief designs. The form of animal head shaped drinking utensils and the use of silver originated from Persia, while the rich and luxurious texture of the design and the forms of lions and curly dragons on the side of the vase show the understanding of Chinese forms, which proves the early stage of political unification and integration in Xizang. This vase is currently in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art.
