Extract

This splendid vessel of the rectangular i type, dating from about the twelfth century b.c., is in the collection of Dr. N. Wessén, of Stockholm. The design on each of the four sides is dominated by a t'ao-t'ieh mask, the main features being represented by animal forms in low relief on a ground of spirals, “cloud-and-thunder pattern,” executed with wonderful precision.
