This tripod has a total height of 40.2 centimeters, a caliber of 32 centimeters, a belly depth of 16.5 centimeters, and a weight of 11.65 kilograms. It can be said that it is the larger vessel in the tripod, and this type of large tripod often cooks the entire lamb or piglet. The patterns of the tripod are magnificent and come with a lid that can be used as a matching tool for tableware. The meat cooked in the tripod is taken out and placed on top of the tripod lid (tableware) for cutting, making it convenient for people to eat. The number of Western Zhou covered tripods with such a huge volume is relatively small nationwide
