Ku Vessel with Animal
Mask Decor
Early Shang Dynasty
(1766-1122 B.C.)
Height 15.2cm
Depth of belly 11.3cm
Diameter of mouth 11.9cm
Diameter of base 8.7cm
The simple animal-mask
pattern and squat vessel
shape are indications of
the early Shang style.
Later, vessels became
taller and more slender,
while decorative patterns
grew in complexity and
variety.
