| Comparanda | 11/7/2007: "Information from the Freer and Sackler Galleries of Washington D.C.: Zoomorphic-bird shaped wine servers date back before the common era in China. The Freer-Sackler Galleries collections include a Chinese Eastern Zhou Dynasty bird-shaped wine server made of bronze, cast with intricately patterned decorations and gold inlaid inscriptions. It is dated 500-450 BCE, from the ancient Houma Foundry in what is today's Shanxi province." - Melissa Bushnick, Registration Research Assistant, 11/07/2007 |
