錯金越王旨殹(不光)劍
春秋
劍長約62公分,劍體寬闊,中脊起線,雙刃呈弧形進鋒處收狹,前聚成鋒。同心圓劍首,劍柄上有兩凸箍,倒凹字型劍格。劍身剖面呈菱形,表面光滑,刃部鋒利。根據劍格鳥篆書銘文,此劍的佩主便是越國國君勾踐第四代玄孫越王旨殹。「旨殹」,就是越王不光。其中「旨」是「者旨」兩字的省略,讀為「諸稽」,是他的氏稱,「殹」是名字。曰,又翻譯為古,是裝飾字。所以兩面劍格連起來就是「越王「者旨殹」自作用劍。」越王旨殹在位時間較長,國力強盛,故在自用劍的裝飾上也及其華美,所有的越王劍,只有殹(不光)自作用劍的銘文是錯金的。銘文:1.戉王旨殹曰。2.戉王旨殹曰。3.自乍用僉曰。4.自乍用僉曰。

Its earliest bronze form can be traced back to Xia Dynasty, or the Erlitou culture. Its earliest pottery form, much earlier than that. Hence it is one of the earliest vessel types. This vessel shape became prominent during the late Shang Dynasty, and ended in mid-Western Zhou Dynasty. In Late Shang Dynasty, as the power of the ruling class grew, the size of the ritual vessel Jia also grew tremendously, with ever more complex pattern and motifs added on top, making Jia one of the most representative vessel of the late Shang Dynasty period.Besides its tremendous size, detailed patterns and meticulous craftsmanship, the most striking feature of this work is its rectangular shape. Traditionally, bronze ritual objects are circular or cylindrical in shape, such as the round Ding Vessel or the round Jia vessel. Rectangular shapes are extremely rare in the archaic bronze world.
