LATE WARRING STATES-EARLY WESTERN HAN DYNASTY, 4TH-2ND CENTURY BC

A fuller-bodied bronze chain-handled hu from Hubei Jiangling, of late Warring States date, late fourth-third century BC, is illustrated by Jenny So in Eastern Zhou Ritual Bronzes from the Arthur M. Sackler Collections, vol. III, Arthur M. Sackler Foundation, 1995, p. 287, fig. 51.3. Like the present bronze hu, the Hubei example has a pair of mask and loose-ring handles flanking the shoulder and three mask-and-ring handles on the lower body.
