- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Eastern Zhou Dynasty, ca. 5th to 4th century BCE. A stunning and large leaded bronze ritualistic cauldron known as a ding vessel with a matched lid standing on elegant tripodal legs. The "cattle-leg" feet have dragon-like zoomorphic faces known as taoties cast into the top where they meet the spherical body. The basin's exterior is cast with elaborate continuous bands of interlacing spiral patterns known as kui ("snake" or "dragon") and leiwen (a motif of thunder) that encircle the body. The thick, vertical handles with a scrolling pattern, allowed the vessel to be lowered and removed from an open fire and the discoidal lid is slightly domed with the same interlocking motifs and 3 ring handles, useful for removing the lid when the vessel was heated. Dings were ritualistic cauldrons for preparing food during ceremonies to honor ancestors and these ornate vessels were often buried with the deceased. This is an outstanding example! Size: 19" W x 14" H (48.3 cm x 35.6 cm)
For a nearly identical example, please see the Metropolitan Museum of Art's website, accession number: 13.100.6a, b.
Provenance: ex-John B. Kendrick II collection, Denver, Colorado, USA, acquired 1965 to 1990; John B. Kendrick II was that son of John B. Kendrick, Wyoming governor and US senator
