           the shoulder, the tall slender neck flanked by
           two lug handles incised with leiwan above two

           The beast mask in high relief on the body can
           be identified as xiezhi by its lion head and single-
           horn. The combination of tubular handles and
           beast-mask handles can be compared with a
           silver bowl, Southern Song dynasty, excavated
           at Pengzhou, Sichuan, illustrated in The Song
           Dynasty Gold and Silver Hoard from Pengzhou in
           Sichuan, Beijing, 2002, pl.38-2.
