This vessel is a variation of the you wine vessel. The foot belt displays an eye-like motif and diagonals. The belts on the neck and lid, bordered by bands of circles, display taotie with bodies, rows of quills on their backs. The handle is adorned at each end with a Malayan tapir, or mo, which today inhabits parts of Southeast Asia. China
