Description:
This vessel is in the shape of a four-legged creature. The head is the spout, and from the mouth water can flow out freely. The eyes of the creature are round and protruding, and on its forehead there is a pair of spiral horns. The belly of the vessel is full and round. On the lid is a loop ring and another half ring looped to the vessel's handle to allow easy opening and closing. The whole vessel is decorated with Zoomorphic T-hook shaped patterns. The pattern turns and curves to the shape of the body, and leaves no undecorated spaces aside from the bottom of the vessel. Even the handle is decorated with an animal head, and the fat rings that are looped to the handle are in the form of two small dragons with their tails intertwined. The four feet of the creature are decorated with incised lines of cloud patterns.Identical inscriptions of five characters are in the inside cover of the lid and the inside bottom of the vessel. It is transcribed fushu. This clearly indicates the name of the vessel yi as well as the name of the vessel owner fushu .
