Bronze Gui-food vessel
Western Zhou Dynasty (About 1046—771B.C)
Height 15.3cm, diameter at mouth 20.6cm, diameter at bottom 15.8cm
Unearthed from Western Zhou Dynasty tomb no.2 at Baicaopo, Lingtai County, Gansu
Preserved in Gansu Provincial Museum
This bronze Gui with big mouth, flared rim, deep curved belly, ring foot, and beast-shaped ears with auricular protrusions on is decorated with beast-mask design on belly and ring foot, and six-word inscription on interior bottom. It gives us a feeling of mystery and dignity for its round body, flared mouth, beast-shaped ears and Taotie-mask design. It might be made in name of the tomb owner.
