A BRONZE RITUAL TRIPOD FOOD VESSEL AND COVER, DING
SPRING AND AUTUMN PERIOD, 6TH CENTURY BC
The deep, rounded body is raised on three tall cabriole legs and has a pair of angular square-shaped, upright handles flat-cast with an S-shaped scroll pattern. The sides are cast with two wide bands of tight interlaced dragon-scroll pattern separated by a rope-twist border. The pattern is repeated in three concentric bands on the flat cover, which are interrupted by three upright dragon finials all below a circular finial. The surface has a mottled brown and milky green patina with some malachite encrustation.
9½ in. (24 cm.) across handles
