Description:
This vessel is composed of a strange four-legged creature climbing on a sauceboat-shaped vessel and thus forming the handle. The creature clings onto the rim of the vessel with his front legs, while its head, with a pair of large diamond-shaped horns pokes into the vessel as if he could no longer bear the thirst and desperately wants to get a few sips of the fresh water. The design is not only lively and animated, but also cleverly pronounces its function, all of which fully reflects the ingenuity of its creator. The vessel is supported on four legs in the form of miniature persons with their hands clasped together, a design very rarely seen.Beneath the rim are T-shaped hooks formed by zoomorphic animals. The belly is decorated with parallel sunken grooves often seen in the late Western Zhou.
