The deep body is raised on three columnar legs and is decorated around the sides with leiwen-filled triangles pendent from a band of birds alternating with raised whorl bosses, all reserved on a leiwen ground and below a pair of bail handles that rise from the rim. A two-character clan sign, ya Bi, is cast in the center of the interior. The bronze has an attractive olive-green patina with some minor encrustation and traces of black inlay in the recessed areas. Together with a line drawing of the present lot by Hongwei Dong.
