A CHINESE ARCHAISTIC BRONZE WINE VESSEL zun

Item Details

Description

A CHINESE ARCHAISTIC BRONZE WINE VESSEL zun
This owl-form vessel is based on a Shang dynasty (c. 1600–c. 1046 BC) prototype, xiaozun, or owl-shaped zun, which served as a wine-storage or presentation jar and was used in ceremonies honoring the spirit of a deceased ancestor. The choice of fashioning the wine vessel in the form of an owl has an important historical significance.
Dimension: L. 11 cm. W. 9 cm. H. 19 cm. Weight 1360 grams.
