Description
DESCRIPTION: Bronze 'Jue' - Tripod Wine Vessel of the Chinese Bronze Age from the Erlitou Culture in the Yellow River Valley. Piece is extraordinarily rare, predates the Shang Dynasty, and is from the site discovered at Erlitou in Yanshi, Henan. Recent research from the discovery of this site has confirmed this earliest form of Jue from the following characteristics unique to the era: particularly lean blade form feet, a very elongated trough form spout for balancing the ritual liquid, the long rectangular openings within the handles
the flat bottom of the vessel, the stylization of the pair of horns on either side of the lip. There is an overall deep natural 'vert-de-gris' that is indicative of its great age.
CIRCA: 1750 BC to 1530 BC
ORIGIN: China
DIMENSIONS: (Jue) H: 8.5" W: 3.75" L: 11.25" (Box) H: 4.25" W: 10" L: 13"
