     In vessels unearthed in 1923 at Li-yü, and more recently in the much more prosperous and important area of Ch‘ang-chih in Central Shansi, the décor of flat interlocking bands of dragons looks forward to the restless, intricate decoration of the mature Huai style; but in their robust forms, in the tiger masks which top their legs and the realistic birds and other creatures which adorn their lids, these vessels recall the vigour of an earlier age.

     Further support for the Shansi provenance came in 1965, when a bronze quadruped with identical ornamentation and of approximately the same size as the Freer example was unearthed in tomb 126, at Fen-shui-ling, Ch'ang-chih, Shansi Province.² However, a bronze human figure holding a shallow rimmed basket mounted on the back of the quadruped from Ch'ang-chih indicates that the piece actually did serve as a container. There is no indication that the Freer quadruped ever supported such a figure or that it was meant to be used tor any related function.
