English: Square Bronze Hu (wine/water storeage vessel)
  • Eastern Zhou Dynasty

From the State of Cai, which was bestowed upon Lord Shen by the king of Zhou (his older brother) and annexed by the State of Chu in 447 B.C., this vessel features a cross surrounded by coiled dragon patterns, dividing the body of the vessel into sections. Lotus-like petal openwork ornaments the top.
