LATE SHANG DYNASTY, 12TH CENTURY BC
The pear-shaped body of oval section is well cast on each side in a band with two large taotie masks formed by two crested dragons confronted on a narrow flange, each with a rounded eye, backswept crest and an angular, curled tail raised above a small bird shown in profile facing one of the two lug handles cast as the head of a fantastic beast with ram's horns, all below a bowstring band. Four further pairs of birds encircle the tall, spreading, hollow foot, each pair facing a narrow flange, all below four quadrangular openings. The vessel has a mottled green, cuprite red and grey patina.
