Chinese Bowl

Description

The bowls are made of bronze. They are round in shape with slightly flattened bases, providing stability. The rims are slightly flared outward, making the bowls more convenient to use. Cracks and signs of wear that developed over time are visible on the surfaces. One of the bowls has a large hole, which may have resulted from prolonged use or mechanical damage. The metal has a yellowish-brown colour. The surfaces show traces of natural brown corrosion characteristic of ancient metal objects. The bowls are small in size. They were probably used in ancient times for domestic or ritual purposes.
