Food Container (Gui)
A squat round bronze vessel with a domed lid and two curved handles ending in dragon heads, set on a square pedestal. The surface is covered with raised angular taotie masks and spiral bands, and its green patina shows corrosion.
Look closer: Small taotie masks and spiral bands run along the square base, partly hidden by the shadowed corners.
