注脚:元/明 雙耳菱形銅瓶Interestingly, the craftsman in this particular casting, appears to have his templates for the taotie panels out of order, so that the reading of the masks themselves is confused.

For a bronze vase with similar fantastical handles, see Sotheby's, Hong Kong, Later Chinese Bronzes From the Collection of Ulrich Hausmann, 8 October 2014, lot 3314, dated to the Song dynasty; and another from the Paul Freeman Collection sold at Sotheby's, New York, 21 March 2015, lot 711, dated Song/Yuan dynasty.
