It is a combination of a bowl that holds rice and a covering lid. [2] This vessel illustrates a typical Dui design that started in the late Spring and Autumn Period.[3] It is a sphere sliced open in the middle, creating two parts similar in shape, demonstrating advanced craftsmanship at that time. Both the bowl and the lid have two ring ear handles and three ring legs. So, the lid can stand alone and used as a bowl too.[4] The bowl has a shoulder, straight neck and smaller diameter mouth, while the mouth of the lid is larger (子母口).[5] Therefore, the lid can be placed upon the bowl without disrupting its smooth appearance. Rings of grooves parallel to the ground (瓦紋),[6] one of the simplest decorative elements for bronze vessels, is used to decorate the vessel's surface. This may be due to Dui started to be used as daily food vessels during the Warring States Period, less focus on the aesthetics.[7] The area surrounding the rings ears are flat and lower than the ridges of the grooves. Also, some ridges near the rings are distorted, proving that the ring ears and the grooves were made separately. However, Dui started to decline in the Qin and Han dynasty due to difficulties in production and lack of practicality. Dui was then replaced by other iron-made vessels and earthenware.
