描述
- Bronze, inlaid with gold and silver, with green pigment
modelled after the archaic bronze wine vessel zun in the form of a tapir, the beast with round protruding eyes, upturned snout, and swept back ears, the collar around its neck joined by the raised band highlighting the contour of the spine, terminating at a short tail slightly curved to the left, the muscles of the animal accentuated by swirling patterns, densely filled in with archaistic motifs decorated with silver inlays and gilt, the small hinged cover set with a winged single-horned mythical bird as a knop, further enhanced overall by random splashes of green composition to simulate malachite encrustation

The overall condition is very good, except for some typical wear to the inlays, occasional small minor dents, including one of 0.3 cm to the animal's forehead. The right side of the body has a tiny hole. There are also some minor original flaws, especially to the feet.

拍品資料及來源
本品妙飾綠彩，以模仿古銅器上鏽斑，有明代銅匠胡文明的影子，或出自其作坊。
關於古代獸形酒器的討論，同上註，頁154，當中圖1展示了宋徽宗典藏之近似器物。嘉靖七年（1528）出版之《博古圖錄》，有一相類古銅尊拓本，想必為晚明金銀銅匠所熟識，或乃後世藝作之藍本。
有一獸形犧尊，斷為元朝之物，與本品接近，卻僅於脖子處飾浮雕，曾展於《古色–十六至十八世紀藝術的仿古風》，國立故宮博物院，台北，2003年，頁186，編號III-55。同書另載仿古錯金銀天雞尊，編號III-59。還可對比一相類嵌金屬線銅器，該品卻沒飾繁縟浮雕，刊於《Le Musée Chinois de l’Impératrice Eugénie》，1994年，頁28，圖20。香港佳士得2006年5月30日售出一仿古嵌銀線獸形犧尊（編號1519），其底有「松圯作」款，年代定為明末清初，可資比對。
