Ritual Altar Table (Jin)
Object type: altar table
Date: 1034 – 1001
Materials: bronze
Culture: chinese

This elaborate set of wine vessels provides an idea of the splendor of Shang and early Zhou ritual ceremonies. The set is said to have come from a tomb uncovered in 1901; shortly thereafter, it entered the collection of Duan Fang, a senior Manchu official and one of the preeminent antiquarians of the late Qing period. The pieces vary in style and execution. Although eleven of the vessels are inscribed, only one grouping shares identical inscriptions: the two wine containers, or you (nos. 2, 3) and the tall wine container, or zun (no. 4). A second grouping has largely comparable inscriptions: the spouted water vessel, or he (no. 5) and one cup, or zhi (no. 11). A partial reconstruction of the set’s arrangement in the tomb may be established from corrosion outlines on the three principal vessels—the two wine containers, or you, and the central tall wine container, or zun—that were etched onto the surface of the altar table. The diagram shows a hypothetical arrangement of the remaining vessels around the major pieces. Even if this is accepted as the original grouping, the disparate inscriptions and vessel styles remain unexplained. Created around the time of the Zhou conquest of the Shang, and clearly by different foundries, the pieces of the set may represent the accumulated wealth of a family shrine. 青銅禁 1.

Berthe van naturelkleurige kloskant: Valenciennes-kant. Het zich herhalende en symmetrische patroon bestaat uit een kelk op een steel, waarin een naar rechts en naar links buigende korenaar staat. Achter beide korenaren langs loopt een lange omkrullende rank die aan beide zijden van de kelk eindigt in een druiventros. Tussen de opeenvolgende patronen met de kelk zijn met elkaar verbonden door twee veel grotere gebogen korenaren die met een lint aan elkaar zijn verbonden. De motieven zijn met elkaar verbonden door een ronde traliegrond: de ronde Valenciennes-grond. De motieven zijn gemaakt in linnenslag met opengewerkte randjes en met grote uitsparingen in de druiventros en in de korenaren. De onderkant is recht afgewerkt. De bovenrand is afgewerkt met een apart geklost bandje met veel grovere garen. De korte kanten zijn afgerond en afgewerkt met een zoompje.

On the reverse the eagle and the thunderbolt also recall Zeus, with whom, in the form of Zeus-Ammon, the early Ptolemaic dynasty associated itself.

Miniature Ewer
Object type: ewer
Date: 1001 – 1200
Materials: stonepaste
Techniques: glazing
Location: iran

The miniature ewer was most probably made in central or northern Iran in the 11th or 12th century, at a time when potters were experimenting with new technologies such as stonepaste. Early stonepaste vessels were mostly monochrome-glazed, in turquoise, purple, white, blue, with the occasional splash of a different color. They display a range of inventive shapes, such as small bowls and dishes with scalloped, lobed, and variably decorated rims, and miniature vessels like this object. The splash of turquoise on the otherwise dark purple coating of the ewer is a rather rare occurrence, while the peculiar obliquely-cut ring-foot is a technical hallmark of the earliest stonepaste vessels from Syria to Iran. The ewer came to the Museum in 1920 together with a large group of objects bequeathed from the collection of the antique dealer William Milne Grinnell.
