Wine Vessel (Zun)
A bronze wine vessel with a flaring trumpet-shaped mouth, a narrow waist, and a splayed foot, its surface covered in green patina. Raised taotie masks with horn-like projections and dense spiral and key-fret bands decorate the body and foot, with two flanges visible at the waist.
Look closer: Small taotie faces with rounded eyes hide among the spiral bands on the lower body.
