Hou-ma tao fan yi shu
by Li Xiating and Liang Ziming
Art of the Houma Foundry is an illustrated repertory of archaeological finds made at the site of a sixth- to fifth-century B.C. bronze foundry located at modern Houma in Shanxi Province, P.R.C. In the sixth and fifth centuries, Houma was the capital of the state of Jin, a major power in China at the time. The excavation of the foundry site, the largest known in the ancient world, was important above all for the spectacular wealth of decorated clay foundry-debris that was recovered there.
Bronzes unearthed at many different places in China, decorated with an immense variety of designs, can now be connected with Houma on the evidence of the foundry debris. This book presents 1,200 of the most notable pieces of decorated foundry debris in photographs and drawings.
