This bronze pot is an ancient artifact that dates back to the Hunnu period between the 1st century BC and 1st century AD. It has a flat base, a large opening, and a prominent body. The pot is adorned with straight patterns on the shoulders and has half-ring handles on the rim. The linear pattern hangs on all four sides of the pot. This type of pot, known as a "ganzaga," was used by soldiers as a "campaign pot" and was transported on their saddles.
