The characteristic of bronze human figure: No head, there is a big hole on its neck. Upper part of the long and thin body is convex in shape; however, the lower part is flat. Narrow shoulder and both arms are stretching vertically, and the inner part of hands link with body. Brawny legs bent outward, and the heels are obvious to see with uprising toes. The symmetric little holes on the neck and legs indicate that it has functioned as components for hanging and riveting. This is also the first time to discover this type of object in ancient Shu culture.
