Ding – cooking vessel for sacrificial use. Vessel on three cylindrical legs. Hemispherical body with horisontal lip and two handles. Neck band of dragons on a background of yunleiwen. The belly covered by a diaper pattern, showing circlets surrounded by yunleiwen (so-called xiefangge yunleiwen). The relief is exceedingly low and flat all over, the lines in the principal décor being in the same plane as the now light-colored lines in the spiral ground pattern, the shallow grooves being inlaid with some black resinous substance.

Inscription on the inside below the rim: picture of a hand wielding a stick and chasing a walking animal.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
