Fish-shaped kettle

[Fish-shaped pot]

Fish-shaped pot, in the early Warring States period, was 32.5 cm in height, 18 cm in width, 15.5 cm in foot diameter and 2.4 kg in weight
The whole body of the pot is in the shape of a standing fish. The mouth of the pot is upward and the tail is downward. There is a pair of animal head rings on the top of the pot. The fish eye is inlaid with gold
The shapes and patterns of bronze wares in the Warring States Period have moved away from the mysterious, dignified and complicated style of Shang and Zhou bronze sacrificial wares to the life and realism. At this time, the shapes of pots are various. The bionic shapes such as fish-shaped pots are taken from auspicious objects, but they are rare. This pot is exquisite and unique in shape, smooth in line and vivid in image. The imagination and technical level of the manufacturer are amazing.
