Mesa de altar e conjunto de vasos

late 11th century BCE
Not on view
Este conjunto elaborado de bronzes rituais, que consiste de uma mesa de altar e treze vasos de vinho, ilustra o esplendor da Idade do Bronze da China no seu apogeu. O desenho monumental, a decoração complexa e a fundição refinada destes objetos atestam de forma convincente a sofisticação artística e a maestria técnica. Estes objetos teriam sido encontrados no início do século XX na província de Shaanxi, na tumba de um aristocrata da dinastia de Zhou ocidental, e posteriormente passaram a formar parte da coleção de Duan Fang, um alto funcionário e antiquário proeminente e de renome, cujos herdeiros os venderam ao Museu Metropolitan.
