- Dynasty:Western Zhou dynamics
- Category:Bronzes
- Function:Ritual vessels, Food utensil
- Material:mineral/metal/bronze
- Description:. The neck is decorated with long tailed phoenix patterns, and the feet are decorated with cloud patterns and triangular patterns. There are eight clear vertical lines from the nozzle to the bottom. This shape has not been found in archaeological excavations or handed down. X-ray inspection showed that there was a round hole shaped repair casting mark on the belly of the organ below the vertical ear, which was originally a flow port, and there was a repair mark on the belly of the organ on the opposite side after the pig fell off. It was originally a quadruped He in the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty. After repair, it was fitted with two ears to form a quadruped Li. The outer sole of the utensil was originally pasted with Qinggong yellow label, but now only the word “Li” at the beginning of the sentence remains
