Description
Chinese bronze cast into a square baluster form, wide and angled shoulders that taper toward a prominent neck leading to a banded rim, raised upon a splayed foot base. The vase is characterized with archaistic animal patterns covering each side. With four flanges everted on the square domed lid and body, terminating above the foot, dividing the vessel unto symmetrical panels. The exterior delicately decorated in variegate archaic auspicious patterns that create taotie masks. The taotie mask can resemble protection or be a representation of the forces of nature. It has served as a warning against greediness, gluttony, sensuality, self-indulgence in Chinese culture. The vessel with an overall mottled milky-green patina and some encrustation. The wine vessel is gorgeously displayed upon a wooden pedestal.
