Its large, globular body sits on a low footring. It has a straight mouthrim, a thick and short neck, a footring with a concave base, and no lid. The outer wall is left plain with only two parallel ribbed circles that form an embossed register at the belly. Above is a pair of finely incised taotie or animal masks in high relief on the shoulders of the vessel that carry large ring-handles, passing through their mouths. The monster taotie face is an anthropomorphic creation of the ancient Chinese that frequently occurs in conventionalized designs on early bronzes. These mask handles are very similar in treatment, even down to the details to those found from the Ming period. The craftsmen of this period produced copies of earlier forms, but in a purer type of stone. The stone used in this specimen is limpid white and glossy like mutton fat, a Chinese designation of the purest translucent white nephrite. The vessel still carries some of the late Song style-a certain softening of the outlines, a lack of angularity, and an apparent bonelessness. The style, the carving technique, and motives employed are all consistent with a late Ming date. This fine vessel shows the excellent workmanship of this period with the manifestation of a definite external influence. So far, there is no firm attribution of date to this piece; it is basically in the style of the Song period, but can be accepted as a standard archaic vessel of the Ming jade carving."},{"label":"Title","value":"Decorative jade vase in the form of an archaistic bronze hu vessel"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
