拍品描述
A LARGE BRONZE RITUAL FOOD VESSEL AND COVER, DING, SPRING AND AUTUMN TO WARRING STATES PERIOD

China, c. 5th century BC. Superbly cast, the body supported on three tall legs, flanked by slightly curving U-shaped handles, the domed cover surmounted with three circular upright rings still filled with soil from a prolonged time of burial. The sides and cover of the deep vessel cast with concentric bands of interlacing dragons. The handles and cover ringlets similarly decorated with key-fret designs and a coiling dragon motif.

Provenance: From a private estate in Austria.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age, with extensive wear. Signs of weathering and erosion, soil encrustations, small nicks, minor chips, and small losses. The bronze is covered in a superb, naturally grown patina with bright malachite, azurite, and cuprite encrustations, especially remarkable on the interior.

Weight: 2,190 g
Dimensions: Length 26.8 cm (across handles)

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related bronze ding cast in the same form with concentric bands of interlacing dragons, 34.1 cm in diameter, dated to the Warring States period, in the Shanghai Museum, illustrated in Chen Peifen’s Ancient Bronzes in the Shanghai Museum, 1995, p. 94-95, no. 60.
