Comments:Rawson 1987:Small shallow tripods were made in western China, the area controlled by Qin. With the fall of the Zhou capital near Xi’an bronze manufacture declined. Burial groups in ceramic and bronze illustrate the presistence of late Western Zhou vessel types. To,bs at Baoji and HU Xian contain sets of ding and gui, pairs of hu, and single yan, pan and either a ying or a yi. Ding from these tombs are shallow with cabriole legs, like the present vessel. The Baoji bronzes are decorated with late Western Zhou scale patterns, while the vessels and chariot fittings from Hu Xian carry interlace. Rather later and tighter interlace appears on a set of three ding from Qin state tombs at Fengxiang Xian. These ding a very like the tripod illustrated here.
