Asset Overview

This is a low-poly version of [fangding](https://skfb.ly/IzWq) - this one is better for mobile, VR, and AR. 11th Century BCE fangding (food vessel), now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. More information about the object [here](https://collections.artsmia.org/index.php?page=detail&id=1143) *This fangding, or “squared ding,” shows an interesting development in ding design. Although it is still a raised boxlike vessel on four columnar legs, the decoration shows a tendency toward the abstract, which may have been influenced by contemporary textile design. The principal surface displays a rectangular field of interlocked Ts on a ground of squared spirals framed on three sides by rows of spikes...Notably, all the linear patterns on this small vessel have been filled with a black carbon-based substance, to give added emphasis to the graphic designs. Though not widespread, this technique can be found in other late Shang and early Western Zhou bronzes.*
