    Can someone please help identify which period this is from. Could it be Shang dynasty? Not very intricate carvings so I reckon it must be a bit older maybe?

      A gu is type of ancient Chinese ritual bronze vessel from the Shang and Zhou dynasties (i.e. 1600–256 BC). It was used to drink wine or to offer ritual libations.

      A gu is tall and slender, with a slightly flared base that tapers to a slim center section before widening again into a trumpet-like mouth, wider than the base. Its surface is often decorated with taotie Lots of repros out there.
