This square cup is a cultural relic from the late Shang Dynasty (13th to 12th century BC) and is currently housed in the Minneapolis Museum of Art in the United States. Jiu is one of the earliest Chinese bronze artifacts, dating back to the Erlitou period (2000 BC to 1600 BC). Archaeological excavations have found that there are more drinking cups (another type of wine cup) than tripods (vessels for holding food). Jiu was popular during the Shang Dynasty and early Western Zhou Dynasty (1600 BC to 977 BC), but gradually lost favor during the late Western Zhou Dynasty (885 BC to 771 BC) and eventually disappeared.
