sheep-shaped pottery wine jug

sheep-shaped pottery wine jug

It is a sheep-shaped pottery antique artifact dating from the Late Bronze Age to the Iron Age (c. 1350 BC to 800 BC), found mainly in western Iran (such as the Amrash or Malik cultural areas) and Mesopotamia. This unique animal-shaped pottery is likely to be used for ritual or religious purposes, such as drinking or pouring sacrificial drinks. The liquid is poured from the opening at the top and out through the drain at the mouth of the sheep. In ancient Near Eastern mythology, sheep were often associated with fertility, power, and auspiciousness, and the item may have had significant symbolic or status value in the societies of the time.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wine pots were used

The Chinese Warring States period wine pot, from the 5th to 4th centuries BC, is now collected at the Minneapolis Museum of Art. During the Warring States period, a new trend of bronze decoration emerged, which used inlay techniques to depict more vivid painting scenes. Generally speaking, inlay involves inserting very thin gold, silver, or copper foil wires into thin lines engraved on the copper surface. The technique of decorating copperware with turquoise or even rarer turquoise has existed since the Erlitou Culture period. In the late Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, this technique, which now includes more gold and silver inlay, began to be widely used, and the most exquisite vessels and accessories, such as hooks, were made during this period.
