This is a replica of the ritual libation vessel fu ping jiao 角. The original dates to the Shang dynasty, and is in the collection of the National Palace Museum in Taipei. 'The jiao vessel differs from the jue in lacking columns over the lip. It can be considered a variation of the jue type. This jiao has a pointed lip on one end and a pouring spout on the other. The cover is rendered as bovine animal' (description supplied by National Palace Museum, Taipei). The logo of the National Palace Museum, Taipei is on the base.
