Bronze ware from the Shang Dynasty, known as the 'Bronze Pavilion'
This Chinese cultural relic is a wine vessel called "斝", produced in the 13th to 12th centuries BC. It is collected at the Minneapolis Museum of Art in the United States. 斝 is a ceremonial vessel used for ancestor worship, which is made of both pottery and copper. It can be quadrupedal or quadrupedal, with two cylindrical protrusions on the mouth edge, which may be used to hang the vessel above a heat source. Yan first appeared in the Neolithic Age (5000-2000 BC) and was very common in the Shang and early Western Zhou dynasties, but disappeared in the mid Western Zhou period.
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.
