This unadorned pitch-pot with a little cute shape is in relatively good condition except the slightly decayed opening and rusty surface. Two 4 cm-long bamboo arrows are kept in the pot.
Pitch-pot is the literal translation of a popular game in ancient China that required players to pitch arrows into a pot from a distance, in which the player who managed to throw the largest number of arrows into the pot won.
