In its original archaic bronze form, the tulu was used as a container for artist's materials. The four columnar corners each held a wooden compartment containing pigments, while the central area would be used for holding water to mix colours and wash the brush. For an analysis of the tulu form in a variety of media, see Cheng Te Kun, 'The T'u-Lu Colour-Container of the Shang-Chou Period', B.M.F.E.A., no. 37, 1965, p. 239-249, pl. 1-6.
