Zūn (鐏) is a wine vessel and sacrificial vessel. It is a tall cylindrical wine cup, with no handles or legs. The mouth is usually slightly broader than the body. In the late Zhou (周) Dynasty, this type of vessel became exceedingly elaborate, often taking the shape of animals and abandoning the traditional shape. These later types are distinguished from gōng (觥) by retaining a small, roughly circular mouth.
