Xi is a washing basin for daily use. This basin has two upright handles, a flared mouth, a shallow belly and a flat bottom. The mouth rim of the basin is adorned with thunder patterns. Two dragons rendered in relief appear in-between the wave pattern covering the interior of the vessel. When the basin is filled with water, the user can rub the upper part of the handles to produce a buzzing sound, which in turn creates undulating waves on the water's surface. Sprinkles of water then spout upwards as if they are gushing out of the dragon's mouth. This ingenious combination of creativity and practicality reflects the level of sophistication of the artisans at the time.
