Description:
This vessel has a circular opening with a thin lip folded outward; the neck tightens, and the belly narrows down to form the three legs supporting the vessel. The belly is decorated with three groups of animal masks. Every group lines up with the central lines extended from the legs. It also uses the narrow flanges protruding out of the lines as its nose, and has eyes on either side. Characters are inscribed on the inside wall of the wide and smooth rim of the lip. Due to corrosion, only four characters can be recognized, and no complete sentence is discernible. The last character is transcribed zheng, which is likely to be the name of the vessel's owner.
