The walls of the "Yu" Bronze Ding are relatively thick. The belly is broad horizontally, with sloping walls that flare outward, and a gentle curvature near the lower exterior of the legs, forming a drooping-belly profile. It is a typical example of large and medium-sized bronze ding vessels from the early Western Zhou period, characterized by a majestic and weighty presence.
