Wine Vessel (Hu)
A rounded bronze wine vessel with a flared neck and two small ring handles at the shoulders. Bands of gold inlay in interlocking scroll and key-fret patterns cover the body against a mottled green patina, with a lower band of spiral motifs near the foot.
Look closer: Small ring handles on the shoulders, one on each side of the vessel.
