Bronze vessels from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, such as the Bronze Shengding
This Chinese cultural relic is a bronze vessel called "Shengding", which was cast around 575 BC. Shengding "refers to a type of tripod with a flat bottom and a prominent waist. The word 'sheng' refers to the offerings provided within it. There are six Kui dragons climbing towards the lid in high relief around the body of the Ding. The surface is decorated with interwoven dragons, engraved with scale patterns, and overlapping feather like patterns. Although most of the decorations are made using traditional block casting bronze techniques, the six dragons, with their complex, perforated shapes, were individually crafted using the lost wax method. This cauldron is currently housed in the Minneapolis Museum of Art in the United States.
