A BRONZE RITUAL COOKING VESSEL AND COVER, DUN
EASTERN ZHOU DYNASTY (770-256 BC)
The bulbous vessel and the cover are cast in mirror image so that the cover, when inverted, can be used as a bowl. Both are flat-cast with two different bands of a repeating pattern of intertwined serpents on a granular ground, and the slightly recessed bands at the rims are also decorated, as are the faceted loop handles. The spreading ring surmounting the cover is centered by a flower head encircled by three further serpents with split and entwined bodies. There is light encrustation in the interior and on the exterior.
7 7/8 in. (20 cm.) high
