"The Kanghou Gui is an early Western Zhou Dynasty bronze ware unearthed in the Central Plains in 1931. It was later resold overseas and donated to the museum by Brooke Sewell in 1977. It was originally part of the collection of Yiheyuan."
" Gui is a vessel used to hold cooked meals in ancient times. It is also used as a ritual vessel with a round mouth and two ears. It was popular from the Shang Dynasty to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It is one of the iconic bronze vessels of the Bronze Age. The bottom of the vessel has an inscription of 4 lines 24 Words. Unearthed from the Tomb of Wei Hou in Xinchun in 1931. The most striking thing about this Gui is its handle, which is a beast with long teeth and sharp horns, and it is swallowing a small bird. "
