These two mo zun are tri-composite cast wine vessels, with a lid on the back and a bird-shaped knob on top. The body of the mo is decorated with horizontal scale patterns, the hip and tail parts are adorned with eye cloud patterns and cloud patterns, and the outer sides of the front and hind limbs are each decorated with a kui (kuí) dragon pattern. Cultural Relic Card Name of the Relic: Rabbit Zun (Picture-) Era: Western Zhou Dynasty Excavation Site: Tomb No. 8, Zhao Jin Marquis Cemetery, Quwo County, Linfen City Collection Location: Shanxi Bronze Museum (Bronze Branch of Shanxi Museum) The rabbit's shape is vivid, showing a crouching posture, with eyes fixed forward and ears pressed tightly against the body, as if ready to move at any moment. The sides of the abdomen have circular raised patterns, consisting of fire patterns, oblique angle thunder patterns, and hook-linked thunder patterns from the inside out. This rabbit zun is also a wine vessel, with a hollow belly and a rounded rectangular opening on the back, perfectly fitting with a matching lid that has a ring-shaped knob. Knowledge Extension Cloud patterns are typical decorations on bronze ware, commonly used as ground patterns (background for main motifs) on animal limbs and contours during the Shang and Western Zhou periods, forming multi-layered structures. Cloud patterns are composed of forked or continuous curving lines, with circular continuous curves called cloud patterns and square continuous curves called thunder patterns, which are deformed cloud patterns. Jin-style bronze ware features a variety of cloud patterns, including hook-linked cloud patterns, scroll cloud patterns, oblique angle cloud patterns, triangular cloud patterns, and deformed cloud patterns, all rich in decorative beauty. Taotie patterns, also known as beast face patterns, are abstract decorative motifs combining various animal features, popular from the Shang to early Western Zhou periods, declining in the mid-Western Zhou, and reappearing frequently in late Spring and Autumn period Jin-style bronze ware, often depicted with a mouth holding a kui dragon or kui phoenix. Scale patterns are composed of the scales on the bodies of dragons or snakes, arranged in continuous, overlapping, or parallel styles, popular in the mid to late Western Zhou period.
