The whole utensils are long -columnar, with a wide nose on the faucet, a long ears, a unicorn in the middle, and the body is evenly distributed with scales patterns and a series of feather -like patterns. The overall shape is peculiar and elegant.

There are simulated fish scales patterns and a series of feather patterns, and the overall shape is like a dragon body.

Zhao Hao said that in the unearthed utensils of Sanxingdui, the image of a similar teeth is not rare. A group of bronze little people unearthed before were decorated with such a tooth. .

"In fact, this is not the same as the concepts we used to understand before. They always think that there is only one way of use. At present, the mode of which it appears is not single. It may be used by others or on clothes. As a decoration, or even portrait as decoration on other utensils, etc., it is possible. "

Zhao Hao introduced that so far, the 8th pit has extracted a number of large bronze, copper 罍, and more than 20 bronze avatars. There are still more than 50 people's avatars that are still scattered in the pit waiting for extraction.
