Bronze four-legged 「Si Mu Xin」 wine vessel
商代 (Shang dynasty，1600 BC - 1046BC)
河南博物院藏 (Henan Museum collection)
觥﹕轟(粵)﹔gong (普)，為動物造型的酒器。這站立狀態的銅觥，婦好墓共出兩件成對，前部似牛非牛，頭上有一對曲捲的犄角，脊背上有一條夔龍塑成突起的扉稜，前兩足為蹄，後兩足如爪，尾部有獸首形狀。通體滿飾以雲雷紋襯底的夔龍、怪獸、羽翼等花紋。整器從嘴至尾上下可分開，腹部內與器蓋內各銘有「司母辛」三字，「司」是祭祀的意思，「辛」是婦好的廟號，可見這銅觥是武丁子輩為祭祀其母婦好所作的祭器。
The gong is an animal-shaped wine vessel. A pair of bronze gong shaped like standing animals was unearthed from the tomb of Fu Hao. The front part of the object looks a little like a cow, with a pair of curly horns on its head and a kui dragon shaped ridge on the back.The whole body is decorated with kui dragon, strange creature and feather patterns on top of a cloud-and-thunder pattern. The vessel can be separated into upper and lower parts from mouth to tail.
