Wine vessel (Jue)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Wine vessel (Jue) is a bronze artifact with a predominantly green patina and visible signs of aging. The vessel has a wide, curved lip that extends outward on both sides and a long, narrow spout. Two small, mushroom-shaped handles protrude from the top. The body features intricate designs and patterns, including lines, spirals, and other geometric shapes. The vessel stands on three legs, with the front two legs being longer and more pointed than the back leg. The background of the image is a gradient of dark gray to light gray.
