Ritual wine vessel (hu) with cover, China, approx. 500-400 BCE, Eastern Zhou period (770-256 BCE). Bronze with copper inlay. H. 22 in x W. 14 in x D. 5 1/2 in, H. 55.9 cm x W. 35.6 cm x D. 14 cm. The Avery Brundage Collection, B60B30+.a-.b. © Asian Art Museum Chong-Moon Lee Center for Asian Art and Culture.

The smooth contours of this vessel make a perfect setting for the inlaid copper decoration. The decoration features a repertoire of dragons, birds, and other animals, some of which are quite abstract. This object belongs to a group of vessels found over a fairly wide geographic range.
