Jin Gong Pan

Bronze ware from the Spring and Autumn Period
A first-class cultural relic. It has a shallow belly and a flat bottom. In the center of the inner bottom is a pair of exquisitely embossed dragons coiled in a circle. In the center of the two dragons is a three-dimensional water bird. In addition to the two dragons, there are four three-dimensional water birds and four embossed golden turtles. Further outward, there are three round-carved jumping frogs and three swimming fish. In the outermost circle, there are four squatting frogs, seven embossed swimming frogs, and four round-carved crawling turtles. These round-carved animals can rotate 360 ​​degrees, the bird's mouth can be opened and closed, and the turtle's head can be retracted. There are seven inscriptions on the inner wall, three lines each, with a total of 183 characters. These inscriptions convey extremely precious historical information from the middle and early Spring and Autumn Period, which is rare in bronze ware.
