Chinese Archaistic Bronze Ritual Ram Form Wine Vessel Verdigis Patina
About the Item
A wonderful Chinese Archaistic lidded wine vessel in the rare form of a ram, the surface decorated with dragons, birds and fish as well as stunning geometric designs, the top with a kui dragon for a handle. In late Shang dynasty style, 13th-11th century BC.
Animal-form vessels are the rarest form of Chinese archaic bronze. A vessel like this would have been used during ritual offerings to the ancestors to appease the spirits, and thus to gain good fortune.
With a lovely varied verdigis patina over the entire surface. Unique decorative item that will fit in a variety of interiors, contemporary and traditional.
Good scale at 18 inches wide, 12 high, 7 deep.
