桃江金泉出土的马簋是一件造型独特的孤品青铜器,对其年代和产地有不同的认识,类似的现象普遍存在于商周青铜器研究中。青铜器本身所包含的艺术、物质和工艺等信息,是探讨上述问题的直接材料。本文仔细提取马簋的艺术和工艺信息,通过对其风格特征的四个要素:马形与马饰、长颈牺首饰、高浮雕的内壁相应下凹和悬铃饰,进行来龙去脉的梳理,分析这些风格要素的工艺表达方式。

The gui with horse ormaments unearthed at Jinquan of Taojiang is the only bronze of its kind with this unique shape.There are different understandings of its date and place of production.Such phenomenon exists commonly in the study of Shang and Zhou bronzes.As they contain such information as art,material and craftsmanship,bronzes should be direct materials for the study of the above-mentioned issues.This paper,through the careful extraction of information concerning art and craftsmanship from this gui,sums up the four elements of its stylistic features:the shape of the horses and their trappings,the animal head with long neck as ornament,the relative depressions on the bronze’s high relief inner wall,and its craftsmanship,and hanging bell.By combing through the context,the paper analyzes the method of craftsmanship in expressing these stylistic features.
