MING DYNASTY BRONZE VASEITEM DESCRIPTIONWe are pleased to offer for sale a fine example of an early Bronze Wine Vessel.

It\'s a fantastic piece, and not something that is offered very often for sale, especially on .
The piece is beautifully moldedwith taotie masks and tiger handles, echoing examples from the Warrings States Period. The body also has alternating registers of interlocking geometric wave patterns. It\'s covered overall in a rich patina of silvery greens, reds, and blacks.
