铭文：母嬣日辛。
说明：角是饮酒器，《礼记·礼器》：“宗庙之祭，尊者聚觯，卑者举角。”郑玄注：“四升为角。”与其他酒器组合，据《仪礼·特牲餽食礼》：“实二爵四觯一角一散。”《考工记·梓人》引《韩诗》云：“一升曰爵，二升曰觚，三升曰觯，四升曰角，五升曰散。”依此说，角与爵之容量为四比一。自宋以来，定爵形器无流而具两翼若尾者为角，其容量与爵大致相等，故不是《礼记·礼器》注和《韩诗》所云之角，或者是爵之某种变体。
夏代晚期有前后成尾形的陶管流角，盘龙城遗址也出土有前尾不发达的管流角。最早的青铜角为上海博物馆所藏的夏代晚期的异形管流角，长体分段，杯体下有圆圈，底下承三足，上口前后皆呈翼状，前翼与一般的爵不同，颈部有一斜置的流，与陶器相同。商晚期角发展成熟，延续到西周早期。
此青铜角为美国纽约兰捷里（J.J.Lally）旧藏，上有标签“LALLY & CO NEW YORK X2611”。角流、尾一致，俱呈尖尾翼。口沿左右对称，类缓坡的“V”字形。颈部收拢，腹部作圆卵貌，一侧有半环鋬，底承三条外撇的锥形足。颈部饰蕉叶纹，流尾下的两个较长，其馀较短，内部对称浮雕两个兽体变形纹。腹部一面出扉棱，分别以扉棱和鋬为鼻基，浮雕兽面纹。兽面仅凸显眉、目、口、耳，不绘面庞轮廓及兽体其馀部位，满工云雷地纹。其主纹、地纹泾渭分明，与颈、腹风格统一。流内一面有铭文“母嬣日辛”四字，为简式祭辞，是较少的铭文铸于器内壁而非鋬下之例。依器型、铭文断，此件属典型的商晚期器。日本出光美术馆藏有一件同尺寸、同纹饰、同铭文器，当与本件为一对，可作参照。
角的存世数量远远少于爵，多藏于世界各大知名博物馆中，珍罕程度和收藏价值不言而喻。
