The four sides of the vessel are primarily decorated with embossed taotie designs (animal mask designs) against a background of carved leiwen (thunder patterns) spirals and huiwen (key fret patterns). The upper part of each side is adorned with a band of stylized dragon designs against a background of key fret patterns. Eight evenly spaced heavy and notched flanges are attached to each side. Inside the vessel there are four raised indistinctly written characters \" wen wang bao ding\" (precious ding owned by King Wen &lt; ?-1043 BC&gt; of the Western Zhou dynasty?). The shape of this vessel bears much resemblance to a fang ding excavated in 1976 from the Fu Hao tomb, Anyang, in the Henna Province and dated to the Anyang Period of the Shang dynasty (c.1300- c.1030 BC). (See cat. 32 from The Great Bronze Age of China: An Exhibition from the People's Republic of China edited by Wen Fong &lt; New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1980&gt; ) But, evidently the Fu Hao piece appears more exquisitely ornamented with more superior workmanship. Originally this bronze fang ding was regarded as a Song copy of a Han dynasty piece by the donor Mr. John H. Hampshire. However, when taking a close look at the worn off bottom of each flattish leg, the original brass material used to produce this vessel can be clearly seen. Such a fact demonstrates this vessel is a recent product made no earlier than the Qing dynasty (1644-1911). This is because bronze vessels dated to the Song dynasty or earlier are exclusively made of red copper; those brass 'antique' vessels are undoubtedly recent copies according to a book titled gu wan zhi nan (Guide of Chinese Antiques) written in 1942 by Zhao Ruzhen, a prestigious modern connoisseur."},{"label":"Title","value":"Ritual food vessel fang ding"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
