Wine Container with Interlacing Dragons in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, July 2017
Wine Container (Zhong) with Interlacing Dragons
Object Details
Period: Western Han dynasty (206 B.C.–A.D. 9)
Culture: China
Medium: Bronze with silver and gold parcel gilding
Dimensions: H. 23 7/16 in. (59.5 cm); Diam. 14 9/16 in. (37 cm); Wt. 35.8 lb. (16.3 kg)
Classification: Metalwork
Credit Line: Lent by Hebei Provincial Museum
This extraordinary vessel was unearthed from the tomb of Prince Liu Sheng. One of the most important archaeological discoveries of the Han period, the tomb yielded numerous luxury objects that illuminate the magnificence of Han craftsmanship. The pattern of stylized dragons and phoenixes shares similarities with earlier Qin motifs. An inscription on its underside indicates that it was used at the kitchen of the Prince of Chu, who attended the Rebellion of the Seven States in 154 B.C. It was probably a trophy presented to Liu Sheng after his father, the Emperor Jing (r. 157–141 B.C.), quashed the rebellion.
