拍品描述
A BRONZE RITUAL FOOD VESSEL AND COVER, DING, LATE SPRING AND AUTUMN PERIOD

China, 5th century BC. Superbly cast, the deep globular body raised on three cabriole legs and set with two upright handles decorated with bands of rope-twist, the domed cover with three similarly decorated ring handles. The sides are cast with two bands of angular tightly arranged interlocking dragon scrolls, separated by a bow-string. The domed cover is decorated with three related bands.

Provenance: Collection of Lim Kee Chin, and thence by descent within the same family. Lim Kee Chin was Singapore’s trade commissioner to Hong Kong in the 1960s under Yusof Ishak (1910-1970), the first President of Singapore.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age, with extensive wear. Signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, nicks, scratches, small losses, minor repairs and touchups. The bronze is covered in a superb, naturally grown patina with bright malachite and cuprite encrustations, especially remarkable on the interior.
