One is a plain gong and cover. The vessel is raised on an oval pedestal foot and has a C-form handle issuing from a bovine mask at one end. The cover is cast on top with the body of a dragon that terminates in the large head of a bottle-horn dragon at one end. The other vessel is a zhi of broad pear shape and oval section that is cast in high relief on each side with a large taotie mask between further bands of archaistic design separated by notched flanges at the sides.
