兽面纹又称饕餮纹，多用在商周时期青铜器纹饰描述中，指由眼、眉、角、鼻、口、身及足等部位组成的以正面形态表现的兽形图案，突出表现兽的面部。

上世纪的青铜器纹饰描述多用饕餮纹一词，皆为约定俗称的称谓。饕餮纹一词最早出现于宋代《宣和博古图》中，依据《吕氏春秋》记载的“周鼎著饕餮，有首无身，食人未咽，害其及身”。

然从现有的商周时期青铜器纹饰来看，有首无身的饕餮纹仅为一小部分，而更多的则有首有身。如仍用饕餮纹来形容这些纹饰，确不符合古人对饕餮有首无身的描述。

商人和周人在大量的作为礼器的青铜器上使用这种图案，绝对不是为了表示贪财、贪食（饕餮，贪财为饕，贪食为餮），而更可能是为了表示威严、权力或身份地位。故现在学者多使用“兽面纹”这一适应面更广、更容易被理解的称谓，以示严谨。

兽面纹在商代和西周早期的青铜器装饰中极为盛行，这段时间内出土的各类青铜器几乎都会用它来作装饰。西周中期及其以后，随着其他题材纹饰的兴起，兽面纹退出了主体纹饰的舞台，仅在耳、鋬或铺首衔环等器物的某个部件装饰中沿用。

拍品資料及來源
The present zun vessel belongs to a distinct category of late Shang and early Western Zhou dynasty bronzes characterized by the eccentric ‘smiling mouth’ formed below the taotie. The most famous example of this type is a zun in the Sackler collection, dated to the 11th century BC, and intricately cast with flanges and three registers of taotie masks, the central one bearing a toothy grin, illustrated in Robert W. Bagley, Shang Ritual Bronzes in the Arthur M. Sackler Collections, Washington D.C., 1987, pl. 49 and front cover. A small number of zun from this category and of similar form to the present example are known, including one in the Idemitsu Museum, illustrated in Ancient Chinese Arts in the Idemitsu Collection, Tokyo, 1989, pl. 46; another excavated in 1999 and now in the Institute of Archaeology Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, illustrated in Wu Zhenfeng, Shangzhou qingtongqi mingwen ji tuxiang jicheng / Compendium of Inscriptions and Images of Bronzes from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, vol. 20, Shanghai, 2012, pl. 11213; and a third sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 7th July 2003, lot 612.

The box for this lot is inscribed with a note by Yuzo Sugimura, dated 1964.

-X-rays show the zun to be in overall good condition
-a diagonal crack on one side of the ring foot, which has been stabilized and over painted with a few short hairline cracks
-overpainting to a narrow section on the exterior of the mouth
-there are some expected areas of encrustation, and the expected nicks and chips to edges

拍品專文
The inscription may be translated as ‘Bo made this precious sacrificial vessel’. This inscription can also be found on a you vessel with similar decoration sold at Sotheby’s London, 2 March 1971, lot 57. This you is very likely to be one of the companion vessels to the present zun, forming a ritual vessel set. A similar early Western Zhou zun and you set in the Hakutsuru Bijutsukan, Kobe, is illustrated by J. Rawson in Western Zhou Ritual Bronzes from the Arthur M. Sackler Collections, vol. IIB, The Arthur M. Sackler Foundation, Washington, D.C., 1990, p. 577, figs. 87.4 and 87.5.

We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
There are some minor chips to the mouth rim. It is possible that the top tip of one of the flanges has been polished down slightly. There are some general age-related surface knocks, scratches and wear throughout. There are three small chips to the foot rim. There are two small areas of degradation to the sides which have possibly been touched up.
