郑州商城青铜大方鼎造型与纹饰研究

郑州商城的三处青铜器窖藏共出土了八件青铜大方鼎,目前学界一般认为铜方鼎的原型与陶方鼎有关。但通过造型与纹饰的细节分析,可发现大方鼎的原型应为方形木质容器,乳钉纹带模仿了容器边套、箍圈上的成排铆钉。南顺城街窖藏的四件大方鼎,其纹饰的演变体现出从模仿铆钉原型到向装饰化发展的过程。

On the design and motif of the bronze square-shaped ding from Zhengzhou Shang City

Eight square-shaped bronze ding were unearthed from three pits at the Zhengzhou Shang City.Their original form was previously argued to be related to pottery ding with a similar design. However, the authors, by investigating the method of manufacture and motifs, argue that their prototypes should have been square wood containers. The motif of strips bosses imitates rows of rivets along the containers’ edges and on a horizontal band. The development of the motifs on the four square ding unearthed at the Nanshunchengjie storage pit illustrates the transformation of the motifs from the original design that imitates rivets towards one with a decorative function.
