西漢 鎏金銅蓋罐 一組兩件
The present set of jars distinguished by their simple yet elegant forms. The bodies are rounded and full, with flowing, graceful lines, topped by finely crafted covers. The entire surface is adorned with masterful gilding, radiating a dazzling, brilliant gold that fully embodies an aura of noble elegance and opulent splendor.
As common vessels in ancient times, these lidded jars served both practical and decorative purposes. Their uses were diverse: they could hold precious medicines, rare spices, delicacies, or valuable items. They were also frequently employed as burial objects or important ceremonial vessels, playing multiple roles in ancient social life.
此組器物均為蓋、罐相配的容器，造型端莊典雅，罐身圓鼓飽滿，線條流暢優美，頂部配有精巧的蓋子，整體通體施以精湛的鎏金工藝，金光璀璨奪目，熠熠生輝，充分展現出高貴典雅與華美富麗的氣質。
蓋罐作為古代常見的實用與陳設兼備的器具，用途廣泛，既可用於盛放珍貴藥物、名貴香料、精美食品或貴重物品，亦常作為隨葬明器或重要禮儀用器，在古代社會生活中扮演著多重角色。
