事实上，这是一个“尊”，猫头鹰形状的盛酒器。

A unique bronze artifact from the No 3 pit features a man carrying a bronze vessel known as a zun that has a round rim and a square body, said Ran Honglin, a researcher with Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research Institute.

四川省文物考古研究院研究员冉宏林表示，3号坑出土了一件独特的青铜器，形状为一铜人头顶一“尊”，即一件圆口方体的青铜容器。
