A VERY RARE BRONZE RITUAL WINE VESSEL AND COVER, FANGYI
LATE SHANG DYNASTY, ANYANG, 12TH CENTURY BC
The slightly tapering, rectangular vessel is cast in crisp, high relief on a leiwen ground on each side with a large taotie mask set between two confronted, long-tailed birds above and two dragons with backward-turned heads on either side of an arched opening on the foot below, all divided by narrow, notched flanges repeated at the corners and also on the cover where the taotie masks are inverted on each slightly convex side below the faceted finial. A single pictogram is cast in the interior base of the vessel and on one interior wall of the cover and may be read as a clan sign. The surface has a mottled blue-green and milky blue-green patination on a cuprite ground.
8 ¾ in. (22 cm.) high
