Wine Cups (Jue) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
Wine and food played a major role in ritual offerings to the ancestral spirits and the "Supreme Ancestor"(Shangdi) performed by the Shang rulers in the state cult of ancestor worship. A variety of wine vessels-- each type given a specific name--was cast to bear witness to the power and artistic vitality of this remote civilization. This example of a jue wine cup is for libations. Other major types of wine vessels include jia (wine warming vessel), fangyou (square wine container), and gu (beaker with a trumpeted mouth for pouring). |
