Thousands of years ago in China, these two inscribed objects belonged to the famous Duke Shi of Shao, who was also known as the Grand Protector or "Taibao."

Elaborately decorated bronze containers were used at ritual banquets to prepare and serve wine and food to honored ancestors. ]]> 2018-04-19 17:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tenicha_murphy_23/tskhcfd3trou/wish/253550762 Artifact 4 tenicha_murphy_23 https://padlet.com/tenicha_murphy_23/tskhcfd3trou/wish/253554432 This artifact is Fittings in form of tigers,
 the purpose of this pair of bronze objects is unknown, the inspiration for the form is obvious. Like real tigers, the ferocious heads have alert, menacing eyes and erect ears, as if the matching animals are ready to move. Each low-slung body is supported by powerful, sturdy legs and ends with a long, coiled tail. Dots on the face represent whisker follicles, and stripes on the middle section, lower legs, and tails resemble the unique markings of these fierce creatures.]]> 2018-04-19 17:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tenicha_murphy_23/tskhcfd3trou/wish/253554432 Artifact 5 tenicha_murphy_23 https://padlet.com/tenicha_murphy_23/tskhcfd3trou/wish/253556943 This artifact is a ritual wine container,
Aggressive spikes and projections, with motifs in high relief, distinguish the ferocious style that appeared at the beginning of the Zhou dynasty around 1050 BCE. This distinctive regional style marks a break from the design of vessels created earlier in artistic centers to the east. Numerous vessels were reportedly unearthed between 1912 and 1918 at Baoji, in western Shaanxi province, and may have been made in a series of casting steps at a nearby foundry in northwest China.]]> 2018-04-19 17:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tenicha_murphy_23/tskhcfd3trou/wish/253556943
