銘文：母嬣日辛。
說明：角是飲酒器，《禮記·禮器》：“宗廟之祭，尊者聚觶，卑者舉角。”鄭玄注：“四升為角。”與其他酒器組合，據(jù)《儀禮·特牲餽食禮》：“實二爵四觶一角一散?！薄犊脊び洝よ魅恕芬俄n詩》云：“一升曰爵，二升曰觚，三升曰觶，四升曰角，五升曰散?！币来苏f，角與爵之容量為四比一。自宋以來，定爵形器無流而具兩翼若尾者為角，其容量與爵大致相等，故不是《禮記·禮器》注和《韓詩》所云之角，或者是爵之某種變體。
夏代晚期有前后成尾形的陶管流角，盤龍城遺址也出土有前尾不發(fā)達的管流角。最早的青銅角為上海博物館所藏的夏代晚期的異形管流角，長體分段，杯體下有圓圈，底下承三足，上口前后皆呈翼狀，前翼與一般的爵不同，頸部有一斜置的流，與陶器相同。商晚期角發(fā)展成熟，延續(xù)到西周早期。
此青銅角為美國紐約蘭捷里（J.J.Lally）舊藏，上有標簽“LALLY & CO NEW YORK X2611”。角流、尾一致，俱呈尖尾翼?？谘刈笥覍ΨQ，類緩坡的“V”字形。頸部收攏，腹部作圓卵貌，一側(cè)有半環(huán)鋬，底承三條外撇的錐形足。頸部飾蕉葉紋，流尾下的兩個較長，其馀較短，內(nèi)部對稱浮雕兩個獸體變形紋。腹部一面出扉棱，分別以扉棱和鋬?yōu)楸腔〉瘾F面紋。獸面僅凸顯眉、目、口、耳，不繪面龐輪廓及獸體其馀部位，滿工云雷地紋。其主紋、地紋涇渭分明，與頸、腹風格統(tǒng)一。流內(nèi)一面有銘文“母嬣日辛”四字，為簡式祭辭，是較少的銘文鑄于器內(nèi)壁而非鋬下之例。依器型、銘文斷，此件屬典型的商晚期器。日本出光美術(shù)館藏有一件同尺寸、同紋飾、同銘文器，當與本件為一對，可作參照。
角的存世數(shù)量遠遠少于爵，多藏于世界各大知名博物館中，珍罕程度和收藏價值不言而喻。
