Hollow-Legged Tripod (Li Ding)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Hollow-Legged Tripod by Li Ding. The image shows a bronze vessel with a wide mouth and two handles on either side. The body of the vessel is bulbous with a narrow base. It has three legs that are hollow at the bottom, The surface of the vessel is decorated with intricate designs and patterns, which appear to be a combination of curved lines and geometric shapes. The color of the vessel is primarily greenish-gray with some brown and orange hues, likely due to patination. The background of the image is a gradient of gray, transitioning from dark at the top to light at the bottom.
