The intricate pattern on this piece is extraordinary, showcasing the virtuosity of the casters of the time.Although many of thebronze forms originated in theShang dynasty, starting from the Spring and Autumn period, shapes became more complex and designs more extravagant. More impressive and creative vessels wereproduced to suit the various demands of the lavish lifestyle of the nobility.In design and ornamentation, this hu recalls vessels created at the Jin State Foundry in Houma, Shanxi province.Vessels decorated in this ambitious and opulent style areexceedinglyrare. Compare a closely related bronzehu with a very similar design, together with an inscribed cover decorated with large outward-flaringlappets, from the collection of A.E.K. Cull, published in Rong Geng, Shangzhou yiqi tongkao / The Bronzes of Shang and Chou, vol. II, Beiping, 1941, pl. 743, and again in William Watson, Ancient Chinese Bronzes, London, 1962, pl. 55. Anotherclose example is an impressivehuvessel from the Freer Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., illustrated in George W. Wener, Jr., The Ornaments of Late Chou Bronzes. A Method of Analysis, New Jersey, 1973, pl. 76. See also a coveredexample of a slightly compressed form, sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 30th October 2001, lot 762.A pair of copper-inlaid bronze hu, each cast with a very similar design of interwounddragons and taotie masksbut divided by narrowbands of raised animal motifs instead of braided ropes, in the Shanghai Museum, Shanghai, is illustrated in Chen Peifen,Xiashangzhou qingtongqi yanjiu[Study of archaic bronzes from Shang, Shang and Zhou dynasties],Dongzhouvol. 1, Shanghai, 2004, p. 514. Another covered hu of a similar form, decorated with an elaborate design of mythical animals, from the Avery Brundage Collection, in the de Young Museum, San Francisco, is published in Charles D. Weber, Chinese Pictorial Bronze Vessels of the Late Chou Period, Ascona, 1968, fig. 51. A further example of a similar form but simpler design and apair of ring handles, was sold at Christie's New York, 18th September 1997, lot 121.
