Jar

A covered bronze wine jar (lei) of heavy rugged form and decoration with considerable green patina. It is divided vertically from the knob of its cover to the bottom of the base by three notched flanges dividing the jar into three equal vertical sections. Each of these sections are divided down the center by a similar flange which terminates at the shoulder via a highly conventionalized animal head molded in the round. There are relief patterns on the surface. There is no inscription.
