(3)In addition to the turquoise, this object is also decorated… 更多 with one of the most commonly seen decorative motifs of the Shang and Zhou dynasties--the animal mask design. This abstracted form of decoration probably represents a mythological beast derived from the imagination of the ancients, perhaps used as a kind of medium in religious rites between them and the gods and ancestors. It may have also been a kind of protective deity for precious bronze ritual objects, serving the purpose of averting evil influences. Craftsmen at the time apparently spared no effort to overcome the technical difficulties in this art form, casting this form of decoration in great numbers on bronze objects. Not only does this reveal a reverent attitude towards the spirit world, but also the importance with which they attached to ritual ceremonies.
