wine vessel...aristocrats would have used the vessel in rituals offerings to honor their ancestors.Sounds like an excuse for throwing back a few.

At this point, it’s actually a relief to learn that this was caused by a simple tripping accident rather than vandalism. But I have to wonder how it was displayed. Usually objects are better protected.

The Pillsbury Owl, a 12th- or 13th-century
BCE BC bronze owl-shaped wine vessel, was at the entrance of the museum’s exhibition “Eternal Offerings: Chinese Ritual Bronzes” when the damage occurred on April 9. Shang-dynasty (ca. 1600–1046
BCE BC) aristocrats would have used the vessel in rituals offerings to honor their ancestors...
In the owl’s place now sits a set of bronze winged dragons from the 4th- or 5th-century BCE BC, which were already on view and moved from the second gallery of the exhibition.
FIFY
