Opulent vessels in gold testify to the wealth of Marquis Yi.  Solid gold vessels from pre-imperial China are extremely rare, probably because of the cost of the material.  The bowl below, at six inches diameter and almost five pounds, is the largest gold object of its kind from the pre-Qin period.  It was found in the eastern chamber beneath the marquis' coffin along with the gold goblet to the right.  In addition, four gold belt hooks were inside the inner coffin.

The bowl was found with a matching ladle inside.  It stands on S-shaped zoomorphic feet and is decorated with a pattern of interlaced dragons on the body.
