- Fang ding (“square tripod” cooking vessel) with taotie mask and gui dragon design
- Artist
- Artist Unknown, China
- Physical Description
- square ding (ting) tripod with four legs, the body as well as the upper portion of the four legs is decorated with "t'ao-t'ieh" zoomorphic design.

The interior is plain, the animal bone remains attached to the bottom and variations in patina patterns with a line running through the middle indicates that the vessel was once filled with cooked meat offerings, presumably in a Shang elite burial in late second millennium B.C.E.
