Chunyu with Fish Motifs (Bronze drum)
The tiger figurine on the top surface is broken. There is a hole of 6.6-8.0cm in size on the shoulders. Made of bronze, with dark green colour on the surface. The sides rise straight upwards from the bottom of the drum before swelling into a gourd-like shape. The bottom rim folds inward to form a small lip. The cross-section of the body of the drum is oval in shape. The figurine on the top surface is broken and there are incised fish motifs on either side of it. The rest of the body of the drum has a plain design.
