The production context of the Zeng State bronzes from Yejiashan Cemetery of the Western Zhou Dynasty
View through CrossRef
AbstractIn 2011 and 2013, 65 Western Zhou tombs of the Zeng State were excavated at the Yejiashan Cemetery in Suizhou City, Hubei Province. Among them, M1, M28 and M27 and M65 and M2 are the tombs of the earliest three generations of rulers and spouses of the early Western Zhou Dynasty. The bronzes unearthed from the Yejiashan Cemetery exhibit not only the characteristics of the common Western Zhou style in typological morphology and assemblage, but also local features reflecting local production. In the technical sense, the bronzes from the Yejiashan Cemetery bear special traits in modeling and molding details: some are of the style other than that of the Zhou, and others are imitations of the same type of bronzes. The characteristics of the bronzes of the Zeng State indicate that in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the Zeng State has the capability of producing bronzes as it does during the transitional period from the Western Zhou through the Eastern Zhou Period.
