A RARE BRONZE TRIPOD POURING VESSEL AND A COVER, XIAOLIUDING

LATE WESTERN ZHOU DYNASTY, 8TH - 7TH CENTURY B.C.

The pouring vessel is cast with rounded sides supported by three cabriole legs. The body is decorated in flat relief with frieze scales in two horizontal bands, all below a border of double-ring pattern under an everted rim. The short spout is cast in the shape of a tiger head with pointed triangled ears and the two upright looped handles are jointed by struts to the rim. The cover is cast in relief with a pair of symmetrically entwined serpent-like dragons, their heads emerging from opposite sides of the rim and enclosing the tier-form handle. The edge of the rim is decorated with two crouching monkeys aligned with the central handle. The underside of the cover is decorated with three further small serpent-like dragon masks to serve as a stop to hold the cover in place.

4 7/8 in. (12.4cm.) wide across handles
