Hu (badly damaged). This vessel has a strongly pronounced shoulder and straight collar-like neck. The grooves in the decor have been inlaid. On the foot there are some very simple figures of dragon origin. The lowest decor belt on the body and that on the shoulder are crossed by thick zigzag lines, just as on the preceding vessel, whereas the upper belt on the body and that on the neck have squared fields. In all probability the decor figures in these belts have a zoomorphic origin, though the stylization has deformed them beyond recognition. There are strong affinities between this Hu and the preceding one, except for the shape. — Huai style period. Height 19 cm. Light-green, somewhat yellowish patina. (BMFEA 21, p. 14).
