Bronze-jia was a kind of drinking vessel, appeared in Xia Dynasty, and prevailed from Shang Dynasty to the early period of Western Zhou. Researchers had already done some researches about the mold-making techniques of the bronze-jia. According to the archaeological investigation of the unearthed molds of the bronze-jia, the observation of the casting features on the surface of the vessel and the simulated experiment of the mold-making techniques, archaeologists believed that the molds of the bronze-jia were made from the tripartite division models. The raised angular taotie designs on the belly of the bronze-jia were manufactured on the outer molds while the whorl designs in the cap were made by carving and pressing a small piece of clay on the mold of cap. The cores of the body and the handle were made from the core-boxes. The molds and cores first dried in the shade and then were baked separately before they were used for casting.
