Late Shang Dynasty Bronze Square Cup
This square cup is a cultural relic from the late Shang Dynasty (13th century BC to 12th century BC), currently housed in the Minneapolis Museum of Art in the United States. Cup is one of the earliest Chinese bronze wares, dating back to the Erlitou period (2000 BC to 1600 BC). Archaeological excavations have found that there are more toasts and cups (another type of wine cup) than cauldrons (vessels used to hold food). Drinking was popular during the Shang Dynasty and early Western Zhou Dynasty (1600 BC to 977 BC), but gradually lost favor in the late Western Zhou Dynasty (885 BC to 771 BC) and eventually disappeared.
