海昏侯墓地出土十二棱散螭纹尊缶略考

A Textural Research on Zunfou Pot with Twelve Edges and Scattered Dragon Design Unearthed from Marquis Haihun’s Tomb

中国国家博物馆新入藏的十二棱散螭纹尊缶原出自西汉海昏侯刘贺夫人墓,与刘贺墓出土的十二棱散螭纹尊缶是一组器物,连同刘贺墓出土的散螭纹圆尊缶一并系春秋末叶之物,三件尊缶的来源比较复杂,可能出自西汉王室旧藏、昌邑王国境内或海昏侯国境内。东周铜礼器中起棱的装饰十分稀见,而在楚式的尊缶中仅此两例。

The zunfou with twelve ridges and chi dragon design,which is collected by National Museum of China in recent time,is unearthed from the tomb of the wife of Liu He,the marquis of Haihun.We consider that the zunfou in same shape unearthed from Liu He’s tomb and the zunfou above mentioned belong to the same group of bronze wares.These two objects and the round zunfou with chi dragon design are all dated around the end of Spring and Autumn Period.These three wares maybe came from old collection of Han court,Changyi Kingdom or the marquis country of Haihun.The ridge decoration is rare among the bronze ritual wares in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty,especially in the State of Chu.By far these zunfou wares with twelve ridges are the only two examples of the ritual wares from the State of Chu.
