Chinese Archaistic Bronze Ritual Ram-Form Wine Vessel
$5,800
About
A wonderful 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. An original of this type recently sold for twenty seven million dollars! You can own this fine later copy for much less.
