描述

  • 圈足內鑄有兩字銘文:亞隻
  • Bronze
盒蓋內題職:
銘云亞隻之觚者既有兩器,北京故宮藏器竝美國私人藏器也。就後者,陳夢家謂「傳出于安陽郊外大司空村」。本器雖未曾著錄,殆為同出器無疑。器身帶兩段文樣,上飾倒立龍文而下飾倒立鳳文,一器中兼備龍鳳兩文,頗為稀見。其制亦精緻雅順,蓋為殷王室工房製作器矣。丙戊大暑,七十二翁松丸道雄誌於武州天童樓金石書窟中。

鈐印:
我似古人
道雄之印

Condition

The x-ray images suggest that this piece is in good condition, although there is some inconsistency in the patination around approximately half of the footring and lower foot, possibly suggesting repair or re-patination. There are traces of black inlay remaining in the recessed areas.

The inscription on the present gu also appears on a gu vessel reputedly excavated from Dasikong village, Anyang city and included in Chen Mengjia, In Shu seidoki bunrui zuroku (A Corpus of Chinese Bronzes in American Collections), Tokyo, 1977, no. A485. The present piece can possibly be attributed to the same find. A gu vessel with similar decoration in the Shanghai Museum is illustrated by Chen Peifen, Xiashangzhou qingtongqi yanjiu (Research on Bronzes from the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties), Shanghai, 2004, vol. 2, pp. 248-249.

The box for this lot is inscribed with a research note written by Professor Matsumaru Michio, dated 2006.
