銅罍(Bronze lei,c.1200 BC)

三星堆博物館藏(Collection of Sanxingdui Museum)

　銅罍以立鳥和卷角羊頭裝飾，器腹飾以渦紋和卷角獸面紋，虎耳獸面紋裝飾的圈足上，有六個小圓孔。三星堆青銅尊、罍出土時，多內盛有海貝或璧、環等玉石器，可見其用途主要用來盛裝祭品、祭器，以向神明獻祭。

　 The vessel is decorated with perching birds and horned ram heads. The inside of the belly is incised with spiral and curved-horn animal-face patterns. The foot, decorated with tiger-ear animal-faced patterns, has six small holes. The zuns and leis excavated at Sanxingdui were mostly filled with cowry shells or jade ware such as bi and rings. The main function of the lei was to hold objects of sacrifice and ceremonial vessels. 　■資料：香港文化博物館
