Li Vessel with K'uei-dragon
Decor
Western Chou Dynasty
(1122-770 B.C.)
Height 16.4cm
Depth 14.7cm
Diameter of mouth
17.2cm
Circumference of belly
59.6cm
The angled shoulder
is decorated with stylized
cloud motifs, and the area
from the belly to the point
of the foot is decorated
with k'uei-dragon patterns.
These change following the
vessel's shape, so that only
the eye motifs can be clearly
distinguished.
