This sinuously curved ladle terminates with an open-mouthed dragon's head at the handle. The creature has two long horns, pointed ears, bulging eyes, and an attenuated snout. A small ball-like object\u2014possibly an allusion to the flaming pearl often chased by images of dragons in later Chinese art\u2014is caught between the two protruding teeth in the dragon's mouth. Under his chin, which curls into the suggestion of whiskers, is a small ring attached to an appendage, presumably for hanging the utensil. Similar ladles with full cups and dragon-headed handles have been excavated in tombs from the kingdom of Wu. Located in the central and lower Yangzi River valley and further south, Wu, which was supported by landowning immigrants from the north and had mercantile ties to Southeast Asia, was one of the three kingdoms that controlled China during the third century.Free picture Ladle with Handle in the Shape of a Dragons Head integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
