Jessica Rawson describes this as 'A tall slender flask, circular in cross-section, this hu is sharply bent to one side, seemingly in imitation of a leather bottle. Three narrow registers are packed with tiny s-shaped dragons; such decoration is typical of the sixth century but probably persisted into the fifth century BC. A bird-shaped lid, with an articulated beak, is attached by a chain to a bowed handle.'See also Zhixin Jason Sun, Ancient Chinese Bronzes in the Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Orientations, March 2015 in which a similar assymetric hu vessel with bird-shaped cover is illustrated. The author states:An earlier hu, much more like a leather bottle, with a full body and tightly angled neck, was discovered in a tomb in Hubei Sui Xian Bajialou. It carried deeply curved chevrons. Later examples are decorated with a wide variety of motifs in several different techniques. During the Eastern Zhou ceramic, leather and lacquer shapes were rendered in bronze as bronze-casting spread geographically and as the use of bronze was extended from ritual to secular items'.
