A pair of dazzling gilt copper bottles attract attention in the "National Melting Pot" exhibition hall of Shanxi Museum. The body of the vessel is covered with exquisite patterns: there are tigers, leopards, bears, camels and antelopes in the grasslands and mountains, as well as mythical creatures such as the nine-tailed fox, feathered man, and fairy rabbit in the Central Plains culture.
The inscription on Hu Fuwen’s wine bottle records that its casting date was during the reign of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty.
