The Ancient Vase is a medium-sized ceramic artifact with a symmetrical, curved body and a narrow neck, featuring intricate engravings of robotic creatures and lush natural scenes, symbolizing the post-apocalyptic world of Horizon Zero Dawn. Its surface is weathered with cracks and scratches, suggesting age and exposure, while the colors are muted earth tones with faint metallic accents that hint at its ancient technological origins. The base is slightly wider for stability, and the rim has a subtle, ornate pattern that catches the light, adding a touch of elegance to its otherwise rugged appearance.
