Vessel of the Spirits
Photograph by O. Louis Mazzatenta
Some 3,500 years ago this jue held wine, though probably not the grape variety. More likely it was a hard-alcohol drink made from millet or other grains. Such beverages were of enormous religious significance to the Shang, who used alcohol to induce a trancelike state for communicating with gods and ancestors who dwelled in the world beyond.
