This outstanding lidded tripod dates back to the Han dynasty in China. Crafted from bronze this ancient artwork stands on three zoomorphic feet. The rectangular handle is hollow, most certainly it originally had a wooden inset.
The most unusual element is the figural spout made in the shape of a stylized bird. The spout has a hinged lid hat falls open when pouring and the bulbous boddy also shows a hinged lid with a little ring handle.
The appealing Malachite patina adds very well to the overall precious appearance of this ancient Han Dynasty artifact!
