The surface is covered in intricate geometric and zoomorphic patterns. 形仿銅方鼎，蓋鈕飾以相對雙螭，蓋面中心雕鏤空錢紋，方形器身兩側貼象首為耳，底接四足，足部前後兩面各塑獸首。器蓋四角與器身四邊加飾邊脊，以製造銅器笵邊脊線的效果與美感。蓋與身皆罩施深濃墨綠色釉，蓋內及底施白釉，口緣與底足無釉露白胎。器表以回紋為地，其上再貼飾獸面、螭龍與鳳紋，紋樣本身已從銅器繁複細琢之形，簡化為裝飾性意味濃厚的圖案。 Object number: 故瓷006072N000000000 Rights: Porcelain rectangular cauldron with animal-mask decoration in imitation of bronze, The National Palace Museum, Taipei, CC BY 4.0 @ www.npm.gov.tw IIIF manifest: https://digitalarchive.npm.gov.tw/Integrate/GetJson?cid=30520&dept=U
