故宫博物院藏杨宁史旧藏饕餮纹簋

A Test of The Palace Museum Collected Bronze Gui with Taotie Motif Donated by Werner Jannings

故宫博物院藏杨宁史旧藏饕餮纹簋,纹饰风格朴素,器耳极具特点。基本相同的器物还发现4件,其中2件有明确的出土地点和考古文化背景。该器时代为商末周初,可能铸造于今京津唐地区,或属围坊三期文化之遗物。X光照射显示簋内底有铭文10字,但进行了掩盖处理,经分析可知铭文系伪刻。

The thesis presented a bronze round-mouthed food vessel with two loop handles and Taotie design named Tāo Tiè Wén Gu in Chinese pinyin, which is among the Bronze antiques donated by Werner Jannings to The Palace Museum. Another four bronze vessels with the close motif have also been found, two of which bear the definite birthplace and archaeological cultural context. This TaotiePatterned Gui is studied to be produced in present Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan region during the late Shang to early Zhou dynasty, periodized into Phase Ⅲ of Weifang Culture. The ten characters proved to be faked that are found in the bottom of the bronze vessel by X-ray.
