This elegant bronze vase, with its round body and elongated neck, resembles esteemed ceramics from the Song dynasty. But while porcelain Ding ware features minimal decoration, this vase exudes archaic appeal with a band of triangular blades featuring interior patterns on its neck and a broad band of stylized dragons filled with spirals on its belly.
