Wine Vessel (Fu Wu Zun), a bronze artifact, features a flared mouth with two small protrusions on either side, resembling handles. The body of the vessel is cylindrical and tapers slightly towards the base. It exhibits a green patina with areas of reddish-brown oxidation visible beneath. The surface is adorned with intricate designs, including curved lines, geometric patterns, and zoomorphic motifs, arranged in horizontal bands that encircle the vessel. A series of vertical lines and ornate patterns are also present. The overall form is symmetrical, with the design elements repeated around the circumference. The base is flat.
