This vase is a cultural relic of the early 8th century AD from Tibet. Its name is "gold-plated silver vase". The decoration of this vase is very fine, mainly with Central Asian elements, including grape vines, bead edges and heart patterns. Sogite craftsmen are known to be adept at using gilded foil to set off silver relief designs. The form of the animal head-shaped drinking utensils and the use of silver are derived from Persian origins, while the rich, luxurious texture of the design and the form of the lion and the curly dragon on the side of the vase show an understanding of the Chinese form, which is proved in the early stage of political unity and integration in Tibet. This vase is now in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art.
