Shang Ritual Wine Vessel (Yayi jia)
Retired.
编号 300.
内容描述.
Most vessels of this type were used to serve mulled wine during Shang rituals. For this reason, the bronze vessel has a tripod base. A fire was simply placed on top of it to maintain the temperature. The decoration consists mainly of taotie masks and geometric patterns in relief on a plain background. The handle starts from the mouth of the vessel in the shape of a mythological beast and ends at the central body of the vessel or jar. This body is decorated with three hard-stone plaques decorated and set in the same bronze. A possible Shang Dynasty reproduction.
It shows generalized wear and flaws on one of the sides.
Height: 16.5 x 6.8 cm
