Tripod Container with Dragon-Head Handle (Zhadou)
The bronze artifact, titled "Tripod Container with Dragon-Head Handle" or "Zhadou," features a weathered green patina. It has a tripod base with three legs, each terminating in a claw-like foot. The body of the vessel is a shallow bowl with a wide mouth. A curved handle emerges from the side of the bowl, shaped like a dragon's head and body, with the head positioned at the end. The handle's tip points to the right. A small, curved handle adorns the lid, which is partially ajar. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
