與牛方鼎同出於西北岡1004號大墓，體型較牛方鼎小。以鹿首為裝飾主紋，鹿角向上分有數叉，鹿首左右兩側也裝飾了猛禽類的鳥紋，鹿首上下另有夔龍紋。值得注意的是，夔龍紋及鳥紋均面朝器物的外側。鼎足空心，足部上方也以鹿首裝飾，器內底並鑄有鹿形銘文。商代彝器沒有其他以鹿做銘文的例子。
Unearthed together with the Niu Fang-ting, this cauldron is similar in type,but smaller in size.The main decoration on each of the four sides is a deer head with a standing bird on each side. A band of "Kuei-dragon" patterns appears on the upper and lower part of the vessel. The emblem cast on the inner bottom of the vessel is a pictographic character for deer.
