Da Ke ding

The Da Ke ding (Chinese: 大克鼎; pinyin: Dà Kè dǐng) is an ancient Chinese bronze ding vessel from the Western Zhou dynasty (1046–771 BC). It was unearthed in 1890 in Fufeng County, Shaanxi, after being buried for nearly 3000 years, and it is now on display in the Shanghai Museum. Along with the Da Yu ding in the National Museum of China and the Mao Gong ding in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, the Da Ke ding has been called one of the "Three Treasures of China".
