Ding tripod urn with handles, China, Han Dynasty, 2nd century BC.

Descriptio Terracotta with polychrome decoration in red and beige pigments. Measures 23 cm in diameter x 15.4 cm high. Ding-type urn supported on three short, sturdy legs, with a covered globular body and two lateral handles that define the piece’s profile. The slightly convex lid visually integrates into the whole, reinforcing the compact appearance of the volume. The surface retains traces of polychrome applied in bands and distinct areas, which enliven the form without resorting to relief. The modeling is robust and balanced, with stable proportions associated with its ritual function. The piece belongs to the ceramic tradition of the Han Dynasty, between the 2nd century BC and the 3rd century AD, where this type of urn formed part of ceremonial and funerary offerings.
