The ewers are conjoined, being interconnected at the side of their bodies; they each have a broad mouth, a pinched neck, an olive shaped body and a flat base. There is an elliptical hole in the sides of their bodies at the point where they connect, and they each have a half-ring handle on their other side. The vessels are each covered with evenly spaced fine-line patterns. The decorative schemes of both ewers feature black painted designs on a red painted background.

The craftsmanship of these twin ewers is extremely complex, and its design is unique. It is not only a fine specimen of Yangshao cultural relics, but also a symbol of friendship between tribal chiefs.
