¡Á24.9cm ¡¡This ewer, excavated in 1923, belonged to the King of the Zheng State . The vivid crane on its top of the ewer, which is spreading its wings ready for flight contrasts sharply to the traditional overelaborate decorations on its body. It reflects a completely new artistic idea in late Spring and Autumn Period.
