Taotie mask images adorn the molded side handles of thi dark green glazed vessel. The body is divided into sections in strap-work band that circle the vessel. Seated on a rounded base, the body is compressed belo the waist, contracts at the neck and flares out at he lip.   


As an expression of admiration for the ways of th ancients, this ceramic vessel was created to imitate the masterful bronzework o earlier dynasties. Bronzework carried important ritual significance and statu value. Set forms were reproduced in ceramic much for the same purpose, but als to provide functionary use. This Hu was designed to carry liquids such as win or water.
