About MeChinese bronze ritual vessels were used for ritual offerings of food and wine to dead ancestors and were sometimes buried with important members of the elite so they could continue making offerings to their ancestors in the afterlife.

Chinese bronzes made in later dynasties copied the shape of the archaic bronze ritual vessels.

The date of this bronze is unknown.
