Footnotes

元銅螭龍紋鋪首雙耳投壺

Provenance:
The Brian Harkins Collection

來源：
布萊恩·哈金斯珍藏

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.

壺口圓唇，兩側鑄較小貫耳，貫耳及壺口飾回紋錦地，長頸，上鑄二螭龍攀附，底部一周環帶饕餮紋，肩部起一周蓮瓣紋，陰鉤邊線，扁圓鼓腹，前後兩側出扉棱，左右兩側飾獸首銜環，束腰飾龜背紋，高圈足。

此壺所鑄鋪首獨角獅髯，應為獬豸，此類雙耳加鋪首組合可參考一件四川彭州出土之南宋銀溫碗，見《四川彭州宋代金銀器窖藏》，北京，2002年，圖版38-2。
