Grain serving vessel (Gui)
Bronze grain serving vessel with two handles, a wide mouth and a short base. The body of the vessel features a lower section adorned with rows of rounded protuberances separated by a band of interlocking diamond-shaped pattern. A smooth, wide band encircles the upper portion, bearing an intricate geometric design comprised of interconnected squares. The vessel has a predominantly green patina with areas exhibiting a brown hue, suggesting oxidation. The two handles are adorned with a coiled rope-like pattern. The base is decorated with a band featuring square motifs. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The title of the piece is "Grain serving vessel (Gui)" by an unknown artist.
