玉璋(Jade zhang， c.1300 - 1200 BC)

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

　因被火燒，玉璋大部分呈雞骨白色。整體狀似戈，最特別的是璋身兩面均線刻一璋形圖案，尖端內收如魚嘴，張口處鏤刻一立鳥形圖案。有學者認為這種魚鳥合體的主題，與傳說中的古蜀王魚鳧有關。

　A large part of the jade zhang displays a bone colour as a result of burning. Its form resembles a ge blade, but its most distinct features are the zhang-shaped motifs incised on both sides, its forked end which resembles a fish's mouth, and a standing bird carved above it. Some scholars believe this bird-fish theme relates to the legendary ancient Shu king, Yufu.　■資料：香港文化博物館
