Add a unique accent to your home with this charming resin-cast bronze-ware wall hanging from China.
Chinese bronze ware dates back nearly 5,000 years. Bronze vessels were commonly used in the Shang and Chou dynasties (1800 BC - 249 BC) by aristocrats in daily life and ancestral rituals. In the performance of rituals, different types and numbers of bronze vessels were employed for food, wine, water, or musical vessels. These bronze ritual vessels were often cast with extraordinary kinds of engraved decoration and inscriptions to record important events at that time.
This elegant piece reproduces a 'Tzuen' wine goblet from the early West Chou Dynasty (1066 BC - 771 BC.) It is displayed against a background of oracle bone scriptures, protected beneath glass, and set into a 12.25 x 12.25 inch frame (depth 1.25 in.). With its harmonizing form, decoration, engraving, and inscriptions, you will appreciate how Chinese bronze ware epitomizes the highest level of technological and artistic expression in ancient times.
