拍品专文


It is very rare to find a Shang jue decorated with distinctly rendered kui dragons, such as those decorating the main band on the current jue. Typically, the kui dragons depicted on Shang jue have dissolved features, which allow them to more readily suggest taotie masks when two are shown confronted. Similar bottle-horn kui dragons can be seen on a  pair of larger (21.6 cm.) jue from the tomb of Lady Fu Hao, Anyang, Henan province, illustrated in Zhongguo Qingtongqi Quanji - 3 - Shang, Beijing, 1997, nos. 3 and 4.
