A CHINESE BRONZE ZUN VESSEL

拍品描述

This elegant archaistic bronze zun rests atop an intricately carved openwork hardwood stand adorned with curling scroll motifs. The vessel features two decorative tubular handles on its upper section, while its bulbous body is segmented by raised horizontal bands. Each band bears finely rendered relief patterns of classical stylized beasts and geometric scrollwork, with faint inscribed markings visible along the lower body. It measures 16 cm in length, 13 cm in width and 26 cm in height, weighing 2380 g. Time-worn verdigris patina blankets the metallic exterior, lending rich aged tonal depth. Crisp cast detailing and balanced proportions make it a standout acquisition for collections of traditional bronze wares.
