"San-shih" Pan Vessel
Western Chou Dynasty
(1122-770 B.C.)
Height 20.5cm
Diameter of mouth 50.5cm
The pan vessel is a
water container, and this
one incorporates raised
handles. Cast into the
base is a 19 column
inscription totalling 357
characters, recording a
land dispute and a
re-drawing of boundaries
between the states of San
and Ts'e, making this an
ancient title deed.
