AN ARCHAIC BRONZE RITUAL FOOD VESSEL, GUILate Shang Dynasty The rounded sides finely cast with a wide register of regularly spaced pronounced bosses against a diamond trellis ground enclosing a linear motif, all beneath a narrow band of archaic scrolls centred on a pair of animal masks, and above a frieze of taotie masks divided by flanges, the loop handles surmounted by horned beast-heads, all raised on a high, stepped base, the interior with a pictogram, box. 23cm (9in) diam.,15.5cm (6 1/4in) high, 2.35kg (2).Footnotes商晚期 青銅乳釘紋史簋 Provenance: A Japanese private collection Sotheby's New York, 15 September 2010, lot 273 An Asian private collection Published and Illustrated: Hayashi Minao, In shu jidai seidoki no kenkyu (Conspectus of Yin and Zhou Bronzes), Tokyo, 1984, vol. 1, 142, fig.53 Z.F.Wu, Shang Zhou qingtong qi mingwen ji tuxiang jicheng sanpian (Compendium of important inscriptions and images of bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties III), Shanghai, 2017, vol.1, p.440, no.372. 來源: 日本私人舊藏 紐約蘇富比,2010年9月15日,拍品編號273 亞洲私人收藏 出版及著錄: 林巳奈夫著,《殷周時代青銅器之研究: 殷周青 銅器綜覽(圖版)》, 東京,頁142, 小型盂53 吳鎮烽,《商周青銅器銘文暨圖像集成三編》,上海,2017年,卷1,頁440,編號372 銘文:史 Inscription: Shi The present lot is cast with the Shi clan/family emblem. The Shi clan was an important family in the Shang dynasty. Most of the bronze wares of the Shi clan were unearthed in Tengzhou, Shandong province, but were also scattered across Henan and Shaanxi provinces. Their prominence spanned from the late Shang dynasty to the early Western Zhou dynasty. According to the inscription on the Xuehou ding vessel, recorded in the Yin Zhou jinwen jicheng, scholars have verified that the Shi clan and Xue clan were branches of the same clan. The Xue clan continued after the fall of the Shang dynasty well into the Western Zhou period, but their bronze inscriptions used the Shi mark. Their main fief was located in present day Tengzhou, Shandong province, so a large number of bronzes wares with the Shi emblem were unearthed there. For related discussions, see He Jingcheng, Shang Zhou qingtongqi zu shi mingwen yanjiu, Jinan, 2009, pp.149-155. Many archaic vessels with bosses and diamond-patterns don't have handles. See for example a related bronze vessel with similar pattern but without handles, late Shang dynasty, excavated from Henan, illustrated in Zhongguo chutu qingtongqi quanji, Beijing, 2018, no.103. For another similar archaic bronze gui, late Shang dynasty, in the Shanghai Museum, see Zhongguo qingtongqi quanji, Beijing, 1998, no.36. Two related archaic bronze gui, late Shang dynasty/ Western Zhou dynasty, were sold at Sotheby's New York, 22 March 2011, lots 22 and 35. 簋薄唇外翻,頸部飾一周變形夔龍紋,前後正中飾浮雕獸首,器腹滿飾菱形格,格內雷紋填地,每格內鑄一尖角乳釘,簋身兩側鑄半環形獸耳,內餘范土,腹部斜收於圈足,足壁正中起四扉棱,兩棱之間飾變形夔龍紋,內底鑄銘文「史」。 史族為商代大族,史族銅器大多出土於山東滕州,另外散見於河南及陝西,活躍時間跨越商代晚期至西周早期。學者根據《殷周金文集成》著錄之「薛侯鼎」銘文,考證史族與薛族為同族分化,薛國在商亡之後一直存續至西周,氏族銘文仍然為「史」,主要封地位於今山東滕州,故此地出土大量帶「史」字銘文銅器。相關討論見何景成著,《商周青銅器族氏銘文研究》,濟南,2009年,頁149-155。 此類菱格地乳釘紋簋多無雙耳,可參河南出土一件商代晚期青銅乳釘簋,除無雙耳外,紋飾尺寸皆似,惟乳釘圓平,見《中國出土青銅器全集》,北京,2018年,卷9,編號103。另可參考上海博物館藏一件商代晚期戈父丁簋,形制與本件類似,惟細節裝飾不同,見《中國青銅器全集》,北京,1998年,編號36。紐約蘇富比售出兩件相關的商代晚期/西周早期之乳釘簋可資比較,2011年3月22日,拍品編號22及35。
