CATALOGUE NOTE
This powerfully cast bronze vessel is a good example of the co-existence of two different concepts of conveying
archaism. Here, the more concrete interpretation closely follows the archaic prototype, in contrast to other vessels
where there is a free abstract interpretation relying on subtle references to the past to convey antiquity.
