There is a cow’s head in the middle of each side at the joint of the cover edge and the cover, which can fix the cover without slipping. The whole vessel is decorated with tongue twitching and cobra patterns. The inscription on the cover reads: “Only in the first day of June, the Ding Hai, Ye Zhongkao’s father made a pot by himself. He used sacrificial gifts to pay for many good things, and the flag eyebrows to live forever. His sons and children will always be treasured.” The inscription on the utensil is rusty and weak, and the content is copied from the “Zhou Zhongding Pot” in the “Xuanhe Ancient Painting” of the Song Dynasty.
