Square Wine Container (Fangyou)
A square bronze wine vessel with a lidded top, a looping arched handle and rectangular body. Its surfaces carry raised animal masks, curling dragon forms and fine spiral backgrounds, now covered in green patina.
Look closer: A small raised mask with a bold face sits on the front of the lid's lower band, nearly hidden by the patina.
