| Reverse description | The reverse features a detailed depiction of a Shang Dynasty bronze square wine vessel known as a fang lei (方罍), specifically the Ya Xu Fang Lei (亚酗方罍), rendered in high relief with fine engraving capturing the intricate taotie masks and geometric decorative bands characteristic of late Shang bronze casting. The vessel is shown in full front-facing view, its squared body and flared foot displaying the elaborate surface ornamentation typical of ancient Chinese ritual bronzeware. The denomination 50元 appears to the left of the vessel, while the inscription 商·亚酗方罍 identifying the artifact and its dynastic origin is inscribed to the right, all in simplified Chinese characters. The mirror-polished proof fields contrast with the frosted relief of the vessel to enhance visual depth. |
