A CHINESE BRONZE RITUAL TRIPOD WINE VESSEL, JUE PROB. SHANG DYNASTY, 12TH-11TH CENTURY BC
The deep body is raised on three blade-shaped supports and is cast on the sides with a band of two taotie masks separated by narrow, scored flanges below a border of triangles that rise toward the rim. One mask is centered on a third flange while the other is centered on a graph, possibly reading tian (heaven), cast under the handle which issues from a bovine mask. The two posts that rise from the rim are surmounted by rounded conical caps cast with whorl motifs below a button center. There is extensive encrustation.
Dimension: 8-1/2"H
LOT NOTES: A JUE with similar decoration, but where elements of the taotie masks are cast in relief, is illustrated by R.W. Bagley, Shang Ritual Bronzes in the Arthur M. Sackler Collections, Arthur M. Sackler Foundation, 1987, pp. 194-95, no. 18, and is dated 12th-11th century BC.
