(14.2 × 30.2 × 23.1 cm, 3.8 kg), Bronze, China, 11th century BCE, This vessel is among the earliest gui with looped handles, which emerged in the latest period of the Shang dynasty. The surfaces of the vessel are divided into four vertical panels by four flanges on the foot and two flanges and two handles on the body. These narrow, thin flanges contrast sharply with the heavy handles and their massive bovine heads. The taotie mask on the belly is flanked by vertical dragons. The principal figures in the surface decor, executed in low relief except for the strongly protruding eyes, are so covered with embellished lines that they tend to merge with the ground of squared spirals. The vessel bears a single script inscription, 'Shi,' which stands as an insignia for a clan. In recent years, a large number of bronzes unearthed in modern Shandong bear the same inscription, dating from the late Shang to early Western Zhou, Gray stoneware jug with pinched foot, three deep lines on belly and shoulder, jug crockery holder soil find ceramic stoneware glaze salt glaze, hand turned glazed baked Stoneware jug gray shard gray salt glaze with some brownish grooves and excellent ridge under the mouth rim three grooves around neck and upper half belly around lower half belly turns pinched foot.

Date: ca. 540 B.C..Young horseman between youth and womanThe olpe is a jug characterized by a mouth that is continuous rather than articulated with a spout. This example represents an early type in which the mouth is black rather than decorated. The meaning of the scene is puzzling, insofar as all three figures are holding spears. It may be that the youths are leaving or returning home; the woman with a spear is probably a member of the household.

Iran This cylindrical bowl has a rounded bottom and sits on three legs. Two pierced lug handles are just below the rolled rim. It is made of buff clay, with painted brown geometric decorations. It was found in a grave at Kamterlan II, a mound in Luristan in the Zagros Mountains of western Iran. Although it had been a settlement in the late third millennium B.C., by the second millennium the site had become a cemetery. It is difficult to say what purpose this bowl served, or even to determine whether it was a special funerary item or an object of everyday use.It is often thought that the inhabitants of Luristan in this period were pastoral nomads, who moved with their herds from the high valleys of the Zagros during the summer to lowland pastures in the winter. This theory arises from the dearth of evidence for settlements, and the occurrence of isolated cemetery sites.

This heishi from the 1400s features a narrow spout, exaggerated shoulders, gracefully narrowing waist, and slightly wider base. Most heishi were produced as pairs for the ritual offering of sake. Years of use have worn away areas of the red lacquer that once covered the entire surface of this vessel to reveal a layer of black lacquer beneath.Pitcher. England, Staffordshire. Date: 1810-1820.

These prized objects date to the Ayyubid period, however, not Haruns time.
