Bronze finial in the shape of an animal, Eastern Zhou dynasty, China, 5th century BC.
Bronze finial in the shape of an animal, Eastern Zhou dynasty, China, 5th century BC. Shaped like a crouching animal whose open mouth forms a circular ring, this bronze has a detailed surface, with small raised dots and furry striations to suggest the pelt, the back with intaglio marks decoration. This small finial would have fitted over a shaft and must have been intended to hold something in a circular ring. It was possibly part of a chariot parasol.
